+ flat is very close to Bazar, ~10min walk to the main attractions
+ it was a hot day, but it was pleasant in flat even without conditionair
- flat actually is in different address, nearby, fotos are correct (except balcony)
- ants in flat
- flat actually doesn`t have balcony (which was the main reason we choosed that flat!), in fact there is common use balcony on the roof of the building, but it does not look so nice as in picture – with a table and chairs, instead there were drying sombodys clothes, doesn`t feel private at all
- no elevator in building
- we never met Hikmet, if we doesn`t count those 5 seconds when he finally let us out of building in the morning where he trapped us in; we had early flight and I told it to Hikmet, we were instructed to leave the keys in appartment and leave, we did it, but the entry door into the building was closed, so we got trapped in the building, our taxi was waiting for us, we had counted every minute for arrival to airport… and then this.. we called Hikmet, he obviously understood what is happening (so we assuem that it is not the first time) and said that he will let us out in 5 min… but he arrived only after 15 min, but for getting on time to the airport in traffic jams every minute is important!
So if you leave the flat early, make sure to open the building entry door before (on 1st floor) and only then leave the keys in appartment and close appartment door! We got on plain on time only because our taxi driver was driving 130 km/h all the time;
- In the first message Hikmet offered excursions to different attractions and taxi, but we were not interested in it as we stayed only 1 day, and after we said that we are not intested neigher in taxi nor in excursions, he responded quickly to every our message, but answers weren`t clear and he didn`t respond to all the questions – he just picked one and even that was not very clear, so I needed to ask the same in different words again and again.
- We definitely are not impressed with this stay and we definitely cannot agree with all the good feedbacks.
Facts:
*indeed flat is in steep hill, but if you use tram then you need to go down only
*building is on shoe making street and there are lots of men, but it wasn`t a problem in our case
*Hikmet or his son could arrive in 10-15min to the flat
