Forgotten hat, lack of care, and poor conditions
Beautiful view from the balcony
Fairly spacious apartment
Reasonably well-equipped, though all the appliances are very old and worn
I stayed in this apartment, and unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing.
Access to the apartment is via a key locker, and everything is managed remotely. The day before check-out, they sent a very strict message reminding me to leave the key inside the apartment, on the table, and to send a photo as proof. The message also clearly warned that if the key is left in the lock, a technician will be called and a fee will be charged.
Most notably, they emphasized — in capital letters — that:
"WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS LEFT. WE DO NOT PROVIDE POST OFFICE SERVICES."
While I understand the need for policies, this tone felt more like a warning than a helpful reminder. And ironically, despite these strong disclaimers, when I realized right after closing the door that I had forgotten my hat, I was unable to get back in, and my repeated calls were ignored — all communication happens only via message.
After two days and several follow-ups, they said the hat had been found and I could pick it up at their office. But when I arrived, they handed me a completely different hat, with no effort to investigate or offer a solution.
Honestly, the way they handled the situation gave me the impression that once you've forgotten something, it's no longer yours.
Beyond this, the apartment itself had issues:
A strong moldy smell in the living room.
Ants in the bathroom and other rooms — unacceptable for a place that claims to meet basic hospitality standards.
It’s unfortunate. The apartment has potential, but it’s overshadowed by a lack of accountability, poor communication, and impersonal management.

Disastrous check in
The apartment was lovely, well equipped and gardens and pool were beautiful
The check in, disastress. You said we would be met at property not true. We arrived in a storm only to find no one there. Tried calling number provided and emailing to no avail after about 30 minutes some one rang back to say look at your what's ap, it was self check in but we could not open it due to bad connection if only this had been sent the day before we arrived. Because we could not find the apartment we could not gain access. Called them back to ask for directions but they said they had no idea as they looked after many apartments and it was my problem. Eventually we gained access and once inside apartment was good but the whole arrival and check in is frankly deplorable. In my opinion you and the letting agents are both to blame.

Nice apartment
The apartment was in a very quiet area. Lovely view with the sea in the distance. Plenty of street parking. Possible to walk to beach or Pera town in 30 mins. A car is recommended. Host contacted by WhatsApp with location and key safe number so no waiting around for access. Please note it is in Lot 3. Wifi was good. The pool looked nice but not heated so we did not use it. Good shower over bath plenty of hot water. Hand soap, oil, salt and pepper available.
The apartment was upstairs with no lift so had to carry suitcases. Although there was a lot of cooking equipment there was no kettle or bread knife even though we asked for them. No dishwashing liquid supplied only dishwasher tabs. There is aircon/heating in sitting room only. No heater was available for bedroom so had to leave heat on all day as we stayed end of Nov. nights were cold. The balcony only had sun in afternoon. Beware the outside of the mini oven gets very hot! No info in apartment so had to ask for wifi code. The bed was very firm so we put the duvet from the wardrobe on top of the mattress for comfort. The pillows need replacing they were lumpy

Het appartement was top. Ligging top.
Locatie was rustig gelegen. Terras op het zuiden. Mooi uitzicht. Appartement was zeer compleet ingericht. Ruim voldoende serviesgoed, pannen, schalen enz.
Het bed was slecht. Keihard en dun. Dekbedhoes + kussenslopen waren van slechte kwaliteit. Slechts 1 dunne handdoek 1 dun badlaken pp per week. Kregen 2 dunne toiletrollen voor 1 week. Zo zielig. Communicatie met de verhuurder was beperkt.

Locatie is top, zwembad is heerlijk zeker met het gras er om heen. Genoeg parkeergelegenheid.
Inrichting van het appartement is erg gedateerd, kasten ruiken muf dus wilde mijn kleding daar niet in doen. Bij aankomst was de wastafel verstopt, beschimmelt douchegordijn en de stang viel steeds van de muur. Deksel van de prullenbak was kapot (kleinigheidje maar met mieren niet handig). Na dit te hebben gemeld is dat wel opgelost 👍🏽
Er is een airco maar niet in de slaapkamer, vind ik wel apart want die wil je juist in de slaapkamer.
2 handdoeken voor een hele week (er is een wasmachine maar als ze in de was zitten heb je dus geen handdoek)
We zijn met het vliegtuig gekomen. Je moet werkelijk alles zelf meenemen/aanschaffen. (Zoals theedoek ed.)Er was ook niets voor 1 nachtje aanwezig. Is hun goed recht maar niet echt klantvriendelijk (vrienden hadden 2 andere appartementen gehuurd, daar waren dat soort dingen wel aanwezig). De schoonmakers stonden 3 kwartier voor uitchecken al voor de deur.
