The apartment is nicely appointed with everything you would need. It has a nice space, is tastefully decorated and has a great verandah overlooking the neighborhood. However although it is 10 minutes walk from Istiklal street - a lovely pedestrian ramble with many shops - the area in between is extremely run-down and dirty. We did not feel safe although we were assured it wasn’t dangerous. Also be aware the lobby and 6 stairwells were also filthy, poorly lit and full of rubbish. This doesn’t make for a good impression and arriving late at night is a really bad idea.
We had numerous issues with safely, hot water, etc and had it not been for an extremely kind and helpful agent, who really tried to make our stay less stressful we would have checked into a hotel.
If you are looking for an inexpensive apartment - with a great verandah, not far from the main tourist areas and are willing to Uber to-and-fro from the front door, this may fill the need. I wouldn’t recommend it for short stays given the six floors of steep stairs but for longer stays everything you could need is there.
