The apartment has a nice view and is well situated. The interior is cluttered and poorly furnished. The place is smaller than on the photos and is very hot during the summer (an opened window is out of the question at night because of the mosquitos). The whole thing makes me think of a student apartment, which is ok, but which normaly means that its cheep. The major problem with this apartment is that it is LARGELY overpriced, compared to other offers I was fortunate enough to encounter in Istanbul. I would suggest the hosts invest a bit more than the strict minimum in their apartment if they want to continue charging the same price.
