While others appear to have had a great experience ours unfortunately was not good as it was riddled with problems. Taskin (the hosts representative) was always very responsive but he never actually solved any of the issues. Following our stay when we reported our list of problems to the hosts they completely ignored us - not a single email.
We stayed for 2 nights and here were our Issues:
1. On our second night the Carbon Monoxide alarm went off due to an issue with the water heater - according to Taskin, apparently this has happened before. The proposed solution was to remove to CO alarm rather than fix the hot water heater that issues the CO and causes the alarm. They did not fix the issue while we were there but advised they would fix it after we left. Given how lethal CO poisoning can be, this was a major concern for us and we do not think Taskin and the team understand how deadly it can be or took it seriously given this is a recurring issue.
2. The AC in 1 of the bedrooms did not work properly and stopped working both nights. This was due to two separate issues. (the first issue I had to find a temporary fix when they could not fix it in the light of day, the second issue they said they would "fix in the morning" - when we were due to check out
3. Washing machine jammed and locked with clothes inside on two separate occasions and required 10 minutes of a physical struggle by Taskin to open - after 2 weeks traveling in Africa we needed to use this and were effectively unable to.
4. Smell of sewage was in apartment. We were told by Taskin this was probably due to a leak a few days earlier and the smell would "go away in a few days after it dries out". I see someone else complained about this in a review - I can assure you when we were a guest the odor was strong.
If I had to be picky, I would add that the roof top is far less inviting than the picture makes it look - the furniture is worn and much of it is broken (the view is accurate however). The apartment itself is accurate but it photographs better than reality. It gets limited sun and has no view as it is on the 2nd floor and all windows face very narrows streets, the buildings around and opposite are all 5+ stories.
Given the price point of the apartment and this number of issues. It is simply not good enough. As such I could not recommend this apartment unless it was significantly cheaper. IMO it is a solid 2 star hotel equivalent.
