After I stayed in Melda’s house, I’ve got very mixed feelings. There are some pros and cons.
The neighborhood is great. Public transport to any part of Istanbul is in 10 minutes walk. A lot of cafes and restaurant for any budget, mood or wish.
The flat is on -2 floor therefore flat is usually dark (I worked with the lights on most of the time) but with a cute balcony and a view to garden.
Flat is quite old and some features don’t work properly.
You have to try your best when you have a shower because the shower head cannot be adjusted and the water is leaking out from broken shower doors. You also have to be ready that the the toilet doesn’t flush well.
Bedroom is good with a good mattress and big wardrobe with a huge mirror but wifi connection is not stable there.
There is an armchair in the living room which is comfortable for work.
Kitchen is small and old but you can easily find all you need.
The biggest problem of the flat is cockroaches, I found dead and alive ones everyday. By the way they are so big that I have never seen such before. I want to believe this is a problem of the whole building, not only flat.
