This is a high end apartment in a newer, world class high rise building. The apartment has an amazing, expansive view of most of the Asian side of Istanbul. It is an excellent value for someone who would like to experience an international class high rise apartment, with a gym and swimming pool included. However, there are a few catches. The apartment is owned by a friend of Bahar - his name is Hakan. Hakan should list the property on his own airbnb account. The check in is not smooth because Bahar asked you to chat with Hakan via whatsapp as you are trying to drive or take the metro in this big city. Hakan does not speak English and whatsapp does not translate. I continued to chat with both of them as best I could. The address includes an apartment number and a floor number, and Hakan's full name. You go to the reception desk and they call Hakan for security clearance. You have to leave your passport or driver's license at the front desk to obtain an access card. Hakan's apartment is sparsely furnished with a newer, comfortable bed and an older, worn futon in the living room. I do not think that he has a full dish set or towels for 2 to 4 people. The apartment needs a professional, thorough cleaning, with stain and lime deposits removed and possible black mold removed in the bottom corners of the shower. The apartment smells like smoke, and should be listed as a smoking apartment or cleaned up for non smoking. I think he is new to airbnb and can correct these - stay tuned for his updates. Also, ridiculously, the building manager has not cleaned the outside windows of this building in over a year or longer. One window pane can safely be cleaned by the homeowner, which would help. This window opens so that you can see a clear view of everything. If this apartment was fully furnished and very clean, it could receive much higher prices as an airbnb rental. It is currently a good value. I would not recommend it for children.
