Stay away, you cannot even take a sleep for an hour in this apartment, the ground floor of the apartment is a night club and there are several adjacent night clubs, noise and loud even when all windows are shut you still can here the loud music until up to 4:00 AM.
Communication with the host is terrible, he is out of the country and every other day there will be a different whatsapp number calling me and saying they are his brother and need to access the apartment for one reason or another. During my 8 nights stay two of the host’s brother access the apartment with their own keys while my stuff is inside, first one to pick up his airbods and the other one didn’t tell the reason.
the toilet is broke. and it takes almost 20 minutes to refill and flush.
the smell of the building is like something very old and wet
the elevator is a big and huge safety hazard and it moves while the door open
the host always tries to make deals outside aribnb like offering transportation services and specials price for more nights extensions.
Imagine I booked the apartment from airbnb for around $47/night and after my booking is over he offered $20/night cash.
nobody was available to receive the key when I left, another guest came with big luggage broke a table that was initially hanging with screw and the host saying the damage from me… He is not honest guy. stay away there are a lot of better options in Istanbul… cleaner, more calm, cheaper and no daily buzzing by the host
