The location of the apartment and communication with Merve were perfect. It is super close to Istiklal, Galata and Karaköy. However, the entire place was so dusty and humid that at times we had difficulty breathing. The window was broken which led to horrible smells like cat pee coming inside the bedroom. There were a lot of street cats in the hall. The photos were inaccurate because the front side of the place as shown in the photos was not where the apartment was located. We had to go through a hall which didn’t feel safe especially at night. Also, it was way smaller than we expected. The bathroom was too small, the shower and toilet were not separate as shown in photos and it was not cleaned properly. Wifi connection is terrible and we also didn’t have telephone connection downstairs in the bedroom. The place is not a good value for its price.
