The place advertised here by Hilal and Ozan isn't exactly what it is in reality.
The communication with them was super and they appeared to he very nice by sharing all the recommendations. BUT the condition of their apartment is terrible.
The Bathroom was horrible. The shower had mould. The shower glass was broken and dangerous. The toilet seat was so narrow that if you sit on it you'd touch the shower glass. The toilet flush wasn't working mostly. The sink had insects around it. The situation of windows and the walls didn't feel safe.
The room itself was clean , but the walls were damp. there was mould everywhere so much so that my friend got sick.
The neighborhood is being advertised as "historic" is just an over advertisement. it's just a poor and dangerous neighborhood. There are a lot more historic places in Istanbul where one can stay. The whole area was too loud, with walls too thin and we think we even heard gunshots on one night.
The staricase, the building and everything around it is just terribly unclean.
And the Hosts are perfectly aware of this. I think most reviews on their Airbnb might also be fake. To us before leaving they also said to rate them 5 stars. But just because they appear to be nice and gave us all recommendations it still isn't fare to give them more than 1 star. This place is really really overpriced for what it is. And I'm almost sure that they shouldn't be on Airbnb.
