Boy oh boy, where should I start? Pros: it is centrally located, within walking distance from all the top sites (Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Süleymaniye Mosque, etc). The AC was a plus because there were some very hot days while we were there in September. The room was clean. There was a rooftop terrace with a semi view of the Bosphorus through a few other buildings. Cons: This is where it all went downhill. The rooms have a lot of wood accents (as per pictures), which initially looks lovely in pictures, but I don't think the owner/designer took into account the climate because when I arrived all the wood was warped and peeling away from the furniture due to the heat. One of the wooden panels covering the double doors of the closet had fallen off completely and was found by me, tucked behind the window curtain in the corner of the room. The wooden shelving in the closet was curled up due to the heat and humidity of the climate and thus unusable for storing my things. The shower tub has a silver knob/drain valve (I think it's used to plug up the shower tub for when you take a bath) that was broken and you can see all the mold and dirt inside the hole. I didn't complain because I didn't want or need to use the tub for baths, but it was still kind of gross to see. There was no elevator which the booking initially listed, but now magically doesn't have... apparently only HALF the building has access to an elevator, so make sure you're on the right side IF you decide to book... an elevator is nice after walking 30,000+ steps (according to FitBit) daily while sightseeing. The TV was broken, and when I brought it to the attention of one of the front desk attendants on the second day, he said he would have someone come to fix it, but no one ever came so we never could use the TV. The wifi was VERY bad to the point where you might as well not have it, even after repeated "resets" by the front desk, the wifi was still not working. The front desk attendants, maids, AirBnB workers would routinely hang out and talk in the front of the AirBnB right outside the lobby and their smoking would waft into the whole area through the open front doors and follow up into the rooms and it gave me a headache. Very unprofessional to be seen socializing and smoking outside, especially since the listing said NO SMOKING... I guess no smoking for guests but it's ok for all hotel employees to smoke while working. There was NO GYM! This was the main reason I picked this AirBnB as I like to work out and it's so hard to find a gym abroad. In hindsight, I suspect that there was never any gym there to begin with since there aren't any pictures of the...
