So, I never met Omer. During the week we had 2 different managers, both communicated frequently, but the information was not actually helpful.
The WiFi speeds they quoted were from the hallway, near the router. But there are cement walls, so the WiFi could not travel through them. I don't think they were trying to be deceitful, but it made work difficult. To their credit, they did move us to a different apartment that was in the same building that did have better WiFi.
The transit that they offered to and from the airport was extremely expensive and not at all reliable. We waited for 30 minutes at the airport for the transit. Got into one transit, then they pulled over on the highway saying they needed to put us into a different van. the price was 40 Euro. When we traveled back to the airport in a taxi, the cost was 15 Euro.
The restaurant recommendations were not great - generally they sent us to tourist spots, despite us asking for more local and less expensive places, which were plentiful once we got our bearings.
If you want to experience how shoes are made and distributed in Istanbul, this is the neighborhood for you! Lots of basement sweatshops and plenty of hardworking folk moving textiles into basements and shoes out of them.
Easy walk to the hippodrome, plenty of small shops for coffee, doner, fruit and of course, shoes.
