This is our 3rd vacation in istanbul, we came for a 9-day vacation. Honestly, this place was awful and we left and found solace at a new place after 4 days, after the SECOND instance of ants we found in the apartment. That, combined with the weird unsafe area that had loud loud metal banging noises in the morning preventing good sleep, cold water in the shower, a TV that would not work and require resetting sometimes, infrequent responses from the host, broken toilet seat, barely any toilet paper, caused us to remove ourselves from this terrible situation. Host was not helpful and I chose not to rely on him or her after 2 unsatisfactory conversations. Please do not rent this place. I hope this helps your decision.
