Everything was amazing, all the photos are accurate, and the balcony is even bigger in real life. A lot of windows, so you can have a really nice breeze if you open them. Hosts are friendly and ready to help. The district is very alive (but not too much). Apartment has a kitchen but there are so many affordable cafes and restaurants nearby I never actually used the kitchen. So location is really convenient, you can quickly get to the bus stop and from there go to pretty much any part of Istanbul.
