On the whole, the stay was ok. Mr. Kubilay was very nice and kind and tried to help whenever he could. The communication was excellent, he usually replied within a very short period of time and tried to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
Pros:
- Very cheap, esp. taking into consideration that the whole apartment is yours
- Big flat with enough rooms
- Fully equipped apartment
- Communication with Mr. Kubilay, quick response and always eager to help
- Cleaning of the apartment when wanted
- Bus stops nearby
- All necessary shops and stores are within a 5-7 min. walk
- Flat is on ground floor
- Balcony
- SIM card for free use
Cons:
- Fridge was full of old, partially moldy food; some food was expired 2 years ago
- Smell within the fridge
- Don´t know when the kitchen cabinets where cleaned last, very disgusting
- Overall cleanliness, esp. if you had a closer look at certain furniture and behind it
- Antisocial neighbourhood, esp. the neighbours below; might not be safe to go out at night-time
- Very misbehaved cat; jumps onto all surfaces, including those in the kitchen and while having dinner; poops next to the litter box sometimes although it is clean
- When cleaning lady isn´t there, her daughter takes on the task -> doesn´t clean properly
All in all, the apartment is a good catch for a short-term stay, but I wouldn´t recommend it for a long-term stay as in my case (1 month)
