This was my first Airbnb Plus experience and the worst so far.
Perhaps I came in Istanbul not the best time of the year but is this an excuse for a special category listing?
3 big problems I faced:
- The title claims the accommodation is warm. It was very cold inside, especially in the bedroom,
- For me as a nomad it’s important the internet is fast and stable. It wasn’t first day,
- When internet came to normal the electricity was shut twice so I couldn’t use it anyway, also couldn’t even have a shower because the boiler was off.
Also some amenities looked a bit worn out. The host was not very responsive.
Perhaps in summer time this is a great place to stay - there are two wonderful balconies on both sides of the flat. The location is also amazing, few meters uphill and you’re on Taksim square.
