The apartment was nice and the building seemed to be a newer one with a code or key required to enter the building. It’s listed as having A/C which is true but it’s only available in the living room. Other rooms have fans set up. The water pressure is not good so it’s kinda slow trying to take a shower. The kitchen could’ve also been cleaner when I got there. The gas stove has to be started with a lighter because it doesn’t spark. There was also a funny smell in the bathroom.
The biggest problem I had was during checkout when the host blamed me for breaking the chair even though it was already broken when I got there. He lied to me and said he spent 1000 lira on it and wanted me to pay for it even though it was clearly years old and ripped up. I agreed to pay him 100 because the part was about 60 and I didn’t want to deal with scammer problems. One plus about the host is that he replies very fast if you need anything.
Overall, it’s a decent place for short or long term stay but it’s extremely overpriced compared to other places in Istanbul with more to offer. I only picked this place for personal reasons concerning the location. It’s very far from the touristic areas and the airport so beware. Avcilar is not the place you want to be if you plan on touring Istanbul.
