Expect traffic being noisy even during the night as it’s close to the busy streets. Using taxi wasn’t convenient because of how busy the road is and the lack of parking spaces. The location isn’t bad if you’re willing to walk around but some of the natives told us the area isn’t safe and it definitely looks sketchy. We didn’t worry much about that though thanks to the safety measures and the alarm system of the apartment. We booked this apartment because it has two bedrooms and that’s the main reason. All in all, it didn’t feel like a true Airbnb experience and we could’ve been better off booking a hotel. Nevertheless we enjoyed the trip to Istanbul and the stay didn’t affect it negatively. The staff was welcoming and they tried their best to be accommodating.
