The apartment was below expectations.
- Location is uncomfortable and unwalkable. While it is technically not too far from Taksim (15 min by foot), the apartment building is located effectively on a highway, which is unsafe to cross. Then you have to pass through a very dirty neighborhood, and only then can reach the "central" part.
- Cleaning standards are not great, the linen, and towels smelled of smoke, judging by marks on the stove I assume some of the guests smoke shisha in the apartment and it's not cleaned properly afterward
- To reach the apartment you need to go through a very long (100-150m) hallway, which is not ventilated and very hot, making each trip in and out quite unpleasant
- Sound isolation is poor, can hear what's happening in the adjacent apartments
