I stayed at this apartment from 16 June till 6 August. My review will be divided into pros and cons.
Starting with the pros:
1- The apartment is well designed, furnished and equipped with everything you need for long term stays. The beds are very comfy and clean. It felt like home.
2- The location is great. It's near the metro station and there is a mini market in the adjacent building. There are also nice cafes and restaurants. It is 5 min walk to Galata and 10 min to Taksim.
3- Doruk was very responsive. He answered all of our questions and he got us transportation cards.
Cons:
1- The apartment was on the 3rd floor and the stairs are spiral. It was difficult for us to climb them after a long day, but we get used to it eventually. However, I don't recomend it for elderly or children.
2- The neighborhood gets very crowded and noisy especially on the weekends.
3-The cleaning lady was extremely nice but the miss communication from Dourk side made the process unpleasant. She never came at the time we have set with Doruk, on the first week, because he kept changing the timings and forget to inform us. If you are staying for a long period just take the lady’s number and coordinate with her!!
4- We have experienced water cut more than 8 times and power cut twice. This continual water/power cut made us measurable. However, Doruk has clarified that it was due to some maintenance work nearby.
Thanks Doruk for sharing your place with us!!
