The place was exactly as described. The area is bohemian and may appear a little strange to those who are new to Istanbul (due to street art and not so posh surroundings) but it is quite safe to walk. Overall a good and safe/secure flat that is value for money. Flat is nicely decorated and has lots of books in Turkish and few in English. There is a proper kitchen and seating area too. Host is very responsive and tries to reply within few minutes.
