Gut: Sauberkeit
great layout and great location, but...
...there were a few issues. There was a bad (think sewage) smell in the apartment much of the time we were there. We were told that it is something that happens from time to time because of something with the winds. It seems like something that having an s-bend or p-trap in the plumbing would help. We mitigated it by putting plastic bags over the floor drains, and always closing the sink drains when we weren't using them. The apartment is well set-up with 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms--a great setup for our family of 4. The AC was a blessing on some very hot days, and the outdoor patio with dining table was a lovely place to enjoy breakfast. Be aware that there is a washer but no dryer, so allow time for clothes to hang to dry. The location is wonderful--only a short walk to Istiklal and Galata neighbourhoods, with so many restaurants close by. Metro and tram lines are within a short walk, so it's easy to get anywhere else you may want to go (be prepared for a steep street).We had some difficulty reaching the apartment from the airport, because the full address was not showing in the VRBO inbox message, and there was no active address link. We had the phone number for the check-in person (who was very pleasant but whose English is quite limited) and had to ask our taxi driver to phone them.
