Communication was good, we had an easy time checking in and checking out. I'd say that the price of our stay was worth it but not an excellent value. The neighborhood might appear daunting at first but you get used to it pretty quickly, there's a Mini Market that's very well stocked just around the corner, the J train is a 5 min walk away, and it feels pretty safe to walk around the neighborhood. The apartment needs some repairs, the stairs to the second level are very iffy, the minifridge in the room didn't work (I forgot to mention that to Hurriyet, so she might have been able to help, maybe I had to do something to get it to work, either way we ended up using a small section of the fridge in the kitchen and we were fine), the blinds in the bathroom window don't close completely shut and it's not a great feeling. Guests are tasked with cleaning for the most part, and that's ok and I had read that in the description before booking, but I guess we had a bit of bad luck because the other guests weren't always cleaning after themselves and there's a line when it comes to what I will clean for strangers. Another thing I'd like to mention about our stay is the smell, there's a general musty smell that is not intolerable, but it's certainly not agreeable, at least for us, and some of that smell stuck to our clothes and we could smell it even after unpacking our bags back home. We also had a bad experience finding out my scrubber and toiletries bag had been put in the bathroom bin, and when someone opened our room while we were there.
