This apartment is made to earn as much money as possible not really taking care on how good you feel there. Someone wrote in reviews its like a cheap hostel and we fully agree with this. My sister and I stayed for 28 nights so have a lot of things to share:
1. Cleanliness. The flat was not perfectly clean having dirt and spots here and there. The couch was dirty with pets hair. We had to put our blankets on it in order do not to be squeamish. The other issue was the bathroom with dirty sink. From time to time we also felt the smell from the toilets.
2. Conditioning. Buse warned us the flat doesn’t have air conditioning but she didn’t tell us it has problems with air circulation itself. The bedroom is on the ground floor with small windows (I’m not sure its possible even to open them), the living room is on the 1st floor faces to the yard full of cats, doves and garbage. Now just imagine this smell when you open the windows especially after the rain. Due to different floors there is no air circulation in the apartment so be ready to live and sleep in the environment with the stale air.
3. Furniture and equipment. Many of the stuff like wardrobe, washing machine, coach, fridge were old and had specific smell. We had to keep our clothes outside the wardrobe on the chairs and hangers so they don’t get this smell as well. We used washing machine several times but couldn’t avoid this strange odor after washing unfortunately. So be ready it might spoil your clothes. The fridge on the pictures is different from the one we’ve got in fact: the real one is older and much smaller. The wall with pictures in the living room is not that nice as on fotos as well: some pictures were removed keeping holes in the wall. Looks very poor and untidy. Don’t expect to cook here as the stove is very outdated, there were even no matches or lighter to spark it. As I said no one worries of your comfort.
4. Internet. Another story with internet. Before checking in we asked Buse how good it is and if covers the whole apartment. And she assured it does, but we ended up with having wifi in the living room only.
5. Customer centricity. Don’t expect someone would care of you: we arrived late in the evening and didn’t have even a small 3 liras bottle of water as compliment. No city guides, no instructions on the apartment. Buse didn’t even care to provide us the code to pick up the keys so I had to call her late in the evening to get it (what if I didn’t have internet?). I had to ask her where to throw out the garbage and we simply found the clothest bus stop and supermarket.
6. Buse. Not even worth to mention she didn’t reply on my messages at the beginning and switched to being more attentive only when we started to complain. We sent her pics with dirt in the bathroom and were offered a cleaning discount instead of getting properly clean the apartment at the very beginning. And only after pointing this she agreed to clean it for free. My conclusion is she becomes to be more customer oriented when she feels big complains might arise, otherwise the only thing she needs from you is your money. Noone offers you any additional support or help with anything. Even the most basic thing like keeping the luggage after check out (note this is the whole house for rented apartments, not a single flat). She presented it as a big favor from her side and at the end moved my luggage back and forth around the house from the flat to the storage room instead of offering to keep it in the storage room at the very beginning.
The only good point of this flat is its location but seriously book better something else in this area as this place is not worth its money.
