Let's start with the great things about this place. First and foremost the location is fantastic, the accommodation is no more than 2 minutes away from the most iconic Istanbul sights. The host was initially very kind to arrange free parking and show us to the room, however after that he disappeared and could only be contacted through Watsapp. The disappearance would normally not bother me at all, however I can't help but feel that it was due to him hiding from some issues. Chief among which was the cleanliness of the room and especially the bathroom. The room was not what any sane person would call clean, not even in the slightest. The drapes were as dirty as can be and have probably not seen what soap looks like since the last sultan sat atop the throne in Topkapi. I even doubt they have a recollection of the very concept of washing detergent. Some things were broken and not in the best shape in the room, however at that price I did not expect anything better than that. However I would have loved the idea that someone had made an effort and at least tried putting another handle on the wardrobe, even if it had been a tad different to the original one I would have not counted it as an issue. Finally I have to mention the bathroom which possibly had a piece for hair in it from at least the last 10 people who had stayed in the room. The shower drain was worst, with it clogged up completely with so many hairs in it that water could barely flow through it. All in all a place with fantastic positioning, good service and poor hygiene. P.S. not that I used them, because knowing how cheap the place was I brought my own, but the towels had holes in them.
