The apartment looks like the photos and is located in a really busy area with loads to do right outside your door, perfect for a few days in Istanbul and close to public transport as well as historical places to visit. When we arrived the hot water was off, and I got no instructions on how to turn it on. Luckily I found out myself through some online searches. Once I finally was able to take a shower the host contacted me because the water from the shower was leaking down to the neighbours apartment. I had to wait for hours for a person to come and have a look. The host also wanted me to let the plumber in the next day on a saturday which was very inconvenient for me. The host ended up opening the door for the plumber for us while we were out exploring, so the problem was solved. But I felt like I had to push a little for that to happen, there was also a very strong egg smell coming from the pipes, but it nothing unusual when living in an old apartment.
