Overall, we had a good experience in Imge's flat. Perfect for those who want to stay away from the touristic area and experience the local neighborhood. Back when we booked, the description said 5 min. to the metro station which actually took our 15 min. walk. Also, the flat is a bit older than it looks like in the photos. The address that is revealed at the time of check-in and the address İmge shared on the day was different so we ended up going to the wrong address at first.
Other than the flat, İmge has been very helpful and is a very understanding and nice host. I thank her for that.
PROS:
- Location is super central. You have everything you need within 5 min. reach. Supermarkets, local shops, a bus stop, restaurants, etc.
- Very calm neighborhood.
- Wi-Fi is good.
- Check-in was very easy and smooth.
CONS:
- The biggest con is the fact that the building does not have an elevator. Not a problem for backpacking but it can be tiring to carry big luggages up and down 4 floors :)
- The building is not very good insulated and you could hear the next door neighbors every now and then when they are too excited or laughing.
- The way to the flat by foot is a bit uphill and downhill if you go following the navigation.
- The sofa is comfortable to sleep but not very much fitting for a tall person :) You should take it into account if you go 3 people.
