Zehra’s apartment is clean, well lit, nicely furnished and has a stunning view. Unfortunately, we were generally disappointed with our stay due to dysfunctional air conditioning in the hottest days of the summer (Indoor temp of 31 degrees Celsius on avg). There were no essentials like water, toiletries, tissue paper, duvet or disinfectants which was disappointing considering the deteriorating public health situation in Istanbul (covid-19). The apartment building was a walking distance to Galata tower and touristic spots in the city which was nice, but also not the safest places to visit during the pandemic.
