Sadly we can't write a good review. This is our first not positive review (after staying in more airbbs than we can count) but we think it's important to be honest.
The only redeeming quality about this place is its central location. The apartment is tiny (we were 2 adults with our 8 year old and that was too many people!). Whoever took their photos is a magician with amazing lighting as it also one of the darkest places we have ever stayed. There is only 1 half broken ikea cabinet that can be used for any storage (but the problem is that only one door can even open of it due to it being wedged up against the bunk beds so it was actually unusable). All of our clothes and toiletries lived on the hallway floor for a week. The sofa is coming apart and the brown dirty furry blanket you see in photos is used to cover the broken zipper.
The kitchen is unusable. The fridge is the same size as a mini-bar. The countertop is held up by a single nail and slopes downward so nothing can actually be cut on it. The barstools don't fit under the countertop and are the same height as counter. The bedroom mattress is so soft that you can feel every spring. The bedding is all polyester. The bathroom is stocked full of dusty dried flowers and left over toiletries/medicines/airline freebies with nowhere to even place a toothbrush. Every drawer is stocked full of random accessories and left over items travellers abandoned. The "shampoo" left in the shower was some random hotel's body lotion. The "conditioner" was another hotel's hand sanitizer!
There is a hole in the front window where a street cat just walked in and we had to chase it out. The planters in the front of the apartment don't have any flowers and are just piles of dirt for the street cats to lounge on. The back garden doesn't look anything like the photos and has been abandoned and taken over by a family of cats (that hiss at you nonstop to feed them). The pretty outdoor cushions you see in photos are actually ripped and dirty and not one flower pot had ONE plant that was alive.
The internet is VERY slow and we had to go to cafes to do any work.
AND we were even blamed for breaking the handle on the washing machine when it literally FELL off after loading the machine with a few things (and then not being able to open it) . They immediately responded that a repair man will be called as it was obviously an issue they had in the past. We were asked to meet a repair man TWICE (during our holiday) and then asked to please loan them $35 to fix the handle as the repair man wouldn't replace the handle without immediate pay (with the promise they would return our money later that day). They then "forgot" to pay us until 5 days later with a nasty sidenote of how WE were responsible for breaking their washing machine handle and how they "did us a favor". How rude and how wrong.
We have been travellling for many months and only stay in airbbs. This is our first bad review of any airbb we have ever stayed in. We treat every home as if it were our own with the utmost respect. There are SO many great airbbs all over istanbul to stay in that I would avoid not only this apartment, but also these hosts and all of their properties
