Short overview :
Pros (+)
- location is extremely convenient and close to pretty much every place of sightseeing in this area; if you are on a budget, you can definitely save money on transportation.
- the neighborhood (and especially the building) is so beautiful, we enjoyed walking around.
- the host Pelin is helpful and friendly
- apartment has a stylish design and has everything we needed (maybe expect the microwave, it would be really good to have it too)
- affordable price
Cons (-)
- the room is pretty dark as it is situated on the 1st floor and there are other buildings in front of the windows
- the sofa has dents right in the middle of it so the two of us had troubles getting a good sleep after a long day of walking
- although at the first sight the apartment seemed clean, we found someone's hair in the bathroom and a lot of filth behind the sofa
- the humidity was pretty high after the shower and the ventilation was just not there; the air conditioner helped but not much.
Overall, our experience was good. I'd recommend this apartment (if you are not too picky). I'll probably return if the sofa is replaced. Otherwise, I'd rather choose a quality sleep.
