We found that unfortunately the photos did not accurately reflect the space. For example, the bedding was not white as pictured and instead orange. The apartment did not look, smell, or feel clean—particularly the bed linens and bath towels. There were issues with bugs (ants) in the apartment throughout our stay. The bathroom door could not fully be closed otherwise it would jam and be unable to open. The door handle to the back terrace off the bedroom was broken & there was no way to lock it, so safety was a concern. The AC cooled down the living room & kitchen areas, but the bedroom had no AC. This would not have been a problem since there was a fan. However, the fan was in extremely poor condition and essentially broken. It needs to be replaced. The location was good if you are hoping to be in Taksim Square. If you have a lot of luggage keep in mind the four flights of stairs and no elevator. The terrace was nice. However, we were very disappointed as we had hoped since it was listed as an “Airbnb Plus” that it would be comfortable and clean. Especially since for the amount we paid for one week you can rent a nicer apartment in the same area in Istanbul for one month.
