Great value for money but unfortunately our stay was let down by a bathroom sewer smell. Facilities: Excellent - the flat comes with a dishwasher and washing machine, hot water gas combi boiler, gas hobs, lots of cooking utensils, plenty of storage space for clothes and room behind the bedroom door to stash 2x large suitcases. Theres also a TV which we didn't need to use. Balcony was a great outdoor space in the evenings in a quiet neighbourhood. Location: Charming 'a-bit-rough-around-the-edges' neighbourhood which lies only a 5 minute walk underneath the Tarlabasi tunnel from Istikal or Pera street. Theres a great little local bakery right below the flat from which the ubiquitous red Simit carts leave from daily to sell their wares around the city. On the corner is a basic tea cafe set-up, worth a visit and the locals are very friendly, especially if you try your hand at learning Turkish. Several local stores including a great grocery shop across the street. You can get fresh veg, ingredients for everything right on your doorstep if you plan to cook in a few nights. Cleanliness: The flat was spotless when we got there, we partly chose it because it looked really clean in the photos and it still is that clean. Congrats to whoever is doing the turnarounds as they are keeping the place in really good nick. Issues: One fairly major issue that affected our stay however was a sewerage smell that accumulated in the bathroom on a daily basis. On day one we thought it might pass, but by day three it was becoming gagging and a real pain having to try and air it out every time we returned to the flat after a day out. Guner did attend to try and investigate, carried out cleaning and checked pipes etc. Their engineer thought it was from the kitchen sink but I'm afraid we disagree - having had a bit of experience renovating houses this smell was most likely coming from the sewers on the street and travelling up the pipes, probably through lack of a trap somewhere along the plumbing line. Guner did offer us the opportunity to check out and he would refund the remainder of our stay but after checking around at other options at such short notice we decided to stick it out and keep the air-con blasting 24/7 with balcony door open whilst we were in the flat. We also had an issue with the 'VIP' Taxi transfer service not being able to find the flat on the way in (we knew where it was from Google maps so got out and walked after an hour of trying to direct the driver, who was ignoring us and asking other cabbies for a different apartment 'Berry Life!', which is another one in this apartment group), and also the pre-booked return VIP taxi didn't show up at all - we got a yellow cab (host & taxi company dispute this but we were checking...
