The stay was okay. Selen was responsive and inquired us about our check in and check out proactively. Following is my experience:
1 The wifi details given in the ad were false. i have to investigate the SSID and password on my own. The wifi was slow
2 The sofas were worn off and damaged. when inquired, host said her late cat ripped them apart.
3 The TV is old. It is not smart.
4 The kitchen was stocked and has necessary utensils. However there is just a coffee presser and no coffee machine.
6. The bed is very hard. we literally couldn't sleep well for our entire stay. If you prefer hard mattress than its fine, otherwise i wouldn't recommend.
The passing cars were audible with windows closed.
The door lock in bedroom was missing. The host told us that she will repair it. If it is a concern for you just ask the host about the update on it.
7. The apartment is a good 10minute walk from Taksim. If you have heavy luggage, taking a taxi to this apartment is recommended.
