Good experience overall. The good points were :
- Emrah is a very nice host and super easy to communicate with him
- The whole arrival process was flawless
- The location was great as expected
- Good price for what you get
However, I also noted the negative following points (which, honestly, are not all necessarily the host's fault but maybe other guests', and are not all deal-breakers) :
- The apartment has too few power outlets (aside from the living room, there were only one power outlet per room, including one in the smaller bedroom that was completely disconnected from the wall. Could be a previous guest's fault). But it was a problem. For example, there is a hair dryer in the bathroom, but... you have to go down one floor to plug it and dry your hair ? Really ?
- The apartment is much older and more damaged than it looks on the photos
- The amenities were disappointing (the oven isn't very new and practical ; the utensils and the kettle were old and damaged, the couch has cigarette burns, etc).
- Netflix was in Russian (again, not a deal-breaker or the host's fault)
What I want to point out here is that this apartment is good, but could be much better if it were properly taken care of. It feels too abandoned to its visitors that are not careful or respectful of Emrah's apartment, which is a shame.
In any case, for the price and location, it remains a good deal and if the points mentioned above do not bother you, then you should go for it !
