The place is worth the money that you are paying for . The location is great to explore the city center. The room is well decorated and is very clean , but the bathroom with the toilet has broken items ( toilet seat was completely broken , so we had to use the toilet without it , all the hanger for the towels was broken too , so you don’t have place to hang your clothes or towels ) .
Before we booked the place we saw old comments from peoples reviews for the same problems in the bathroom, but we didn’t believe that they are not fixed . The owner claimed that maybe the previous guests broke it .
For me it’s not important exactly which guest broke anything, the most important thing is to be fixed for the next guest especially when everything is plastic and it’s not expensive at all .
I want to clarify for all the guests with cars , the advertising says that there is a free parking space . This free space is exactly on the street next to the front door literally, you can touch the car when you go inside the place. The street in front is very small and tiny , the place is exactly on a tiny crossroad so one car BARELY can pass throw your parked car .
On this street believe it or not, there are small trucks passing on a magic literally and many people help the drivers to pass by.
As you can imagine my car was scratched on the second day .
I am taking this experience as a personal lesson for me , because I had to put my car on a private paid parking on the first day.
So which we did right away after the car scratched. We choose I paid parking which was recommended by the owner of the Airbnb ( Carolina) .
Her exact words was don’t worry this parking is safe .
We were very shocked when we took the car after 2 days, that the car has even bigger scratches and very well noticeable.
We don’t thing that Carolina doesn’t have a guilt what happen in the parking but she recommended it to us and she assure us the it’s safe which wasn’t true .
Our vacation finished with 1 hour argument , lies and fake excuses with the owner of the parking .
We tried to contact with Carolina for assist but she answered after few hours , that she was on a airplane.
Later I read the reviews of this parking and there were all terrible, I didn’t even mention that first Carolina told me one price and then this price was doubled there . I have photos of the parking but I can’t import it here , so just can say its very close to the Airbnb , around 2 min and its next to the big old red building.
We have been many, many times in Istanbul and this is our first bad experience. Because of these not responsible people , many tourists will have the wrong feeling about Turkish people, which are actually very good , warm and hospitable.
