The Good: Responsive host and communicative when prompted. Friendly and not rude. The spa is very nice and the atmosphere in the bedroom is good. location is what you would expect for that area and it is a short walk to Taksim.
The Bad: We noticed the apartment had just been cleaned before our arrival, but it was dusty inside and needs a more thorough cleaning. had to ask the host to raise the temperature one night for the air and for the water for another night. It was very cold in Istanbul and these should already have been set, and Ive seen other guests complain about this same issue. Also there are broken items inside like the drawer on the dresser and the showerhead in the bathroom.
overall: I recommend this place but the host just needs to fix some things inside and also ensure the temperature is warm upon arrival.
