I booked this apartment for my parents for a long-time stay (a month).
Overall, it was a good experience.
Pros:
- Laurence and his girlfriend Sahar who was taking care of the flat were both very responsive and helpful. The communication was very easy and quick!
- The apartment is equipped with everything necessary, a washing machine, a microwave.
- The area is pretty central in the European part of the city.
- There was a problem with the bathroom (it’s a “wet bathroom” type and apparently it was leaking and the neighbors downstairs were complaining), but in the end my parents were not very bothered by that, the technicians came just once and Laurence&Sahar informed us about everything.
Cons:
- The area is very loud, at night too, just know that if you need calm.
- The apartment could have been a bit cleaner upon arrival.
- It seems to be a common problem in Istanbul, but there is a canalization smell from the bathroom.
I’d mostly recommend it to young people for 1-2 weeks. Thx!
