Ditto Flats

The bad: 1) Exact location of the flat is very hard to reach. Taxis cant drive to up to the flat because the street is tiny and block with parked cars so prepare to carry luggage for a few blocks. Also, the street is filthy and dark. 2) The stairs are very dangerous. I honestly cant beleive they are allowed to operate with these stairs (see pix). In some places the stairs less than 2 inches wide and nearly totally verticle. 3) Flat is TINY and very uncomfortable. The pictures are very deceiving. Floors are uneven and dirty. Bathroom is dark. Toilet wont flush. We had to add water to the toilet tank. 4) The 1st floor flat is actually up first about 10 normal stairs, and then up the crazy vertivle stairs. Whereas the "garden" level flat is up the first 10 normal stairs and then down like 20 very small basement type stairs. The whole place is chopped up in the worst manner in order to absolutely maximize profit by attemtping to create "flats" out of totally inappropriate spaces. 5) When I requested an extra set of sheets for the sofa bed it resulted in a yelling match with the receptionist questioning my marriage! She asked why we were sleeping in seperate beds and suggested that we should be sleeping in the same bed if we are married. The reality is that the actual bed and bedroom are so small and uncomfortable that in order to give me a little space my husband was going to take a nap on the sofa bed and let me have the normal bed. But they refused to give us sheets, saying "This is not a hotel. We dont give extra sheets." 6) We paid for 10 nights - non-refundable - and we left after 1 night. The good (??) - let's call it the - "not bad": To be fair - it is cheap - but you get what you pay for. The general location of the flat in Cihangir is great - so I thought 'why not'? But in the end, we preferred to give up 9 paid nights than to stay there any longer because it was so rediculous, uncomforable and unwelcming. Again to be fair - there was one young man who carried our bags up the stairs when we arrived. I dont know his name but he was very nice. (Whereas the woman who was on the whatsapp number was shockigly rude - I actually ended up in tears just from the stress of the terrible place and the super rude treatment from her.)

A very cozy and nice place . The place has everything what a house really needs . We stayed 5 days in the ditto flats . We enjoyed our stay place is so clean and sweet . Location is good just 8 minutes walk to istiklal jadesi and very close to taksim square. We really love the women who was at the charge of the place whom was called ( asli ) She is a very helpful lady and whatever u ask she will assist u . The internet is very good . I definitely recommend to everyone 😌
