It was a wonderful trip to Istanbul, and I am glad I chose this place.
Pros:
- The location is perfect. I was a little worried about the road close to the apparent, but it turned out also entertaining. It is very close to Galata tower, Istiklal street, and Shishane metro station. You can easily hop on a taxi from this location as well.
- The view from the apartment was perfect. We enjoyed it every morning, during breakfast, and at night.
- This place has everything for a comfortable stay for a short period. Especially the washing machine and a drying rack.
Cons:
- I could smell the cigarette smoke downstairs in the hall all the time, but the good thing is that you don't smell it inside the apartment.
- The apartment needs a little remodeling. Like, very squicky doors, detached baseboards, and broken towel holders. I would suggest Handan fix them because those are very easy to fix but may impact the overall good impression.
- The winter is coming, and the AC was not always properly heating the living room. I don't know what was wrong with it, but sometimes it was not turning on even if it was cold in the room.
- The stove ventilation is not connected to power and is fake. But you can easily vent the entire room by opening all windows it gets quickly ventilated.
The overall impression of this place is very good. Thanks, Handan, for your service. If you don't mind the cons I mentioned, it is a good place to stay.
