Overall our stay was decent. The apartment is on the first floor - there are about twenty steps overall to get to the apartment, checking in was easy and Mert communicated very well with us throughout our trip.. the apartment is clean, however the shower tends to leak water through the shower so had to put a few towels on the floor after every shower. Unfortunately the washing machine turns off when the lights of the bathroom turn off which meant my clothes stopped in the machine mid cycle drenched in water overnight. Mert was good to sort it out the next morning . One of the bedroom contains a boiler which can be noisy at times.
The location is good - it’s close to Tophane tr station and 6 minutes away from Istiklal road ( but it’s a bit of steep climb getting there). Overall enjoyed our stay and our host Mert was lovely.
