The appartment was exactly as described and how it looks in the pictures or even better, spacious and quiet (good sound insulation on doors and windows), great heating system and hot water. The twin bed was comfortable and the building in general is modern (but no elevator since it's a 2 floors only building). The location is residential and quiet but also close to touristic main streets and a couple mins away on foot from Findikzade T1 metro station/line (4 stations away from Sultan Ahmed and Aya Sofia mosque and other touristic places). The quiet neighborhood feature multiple grocery stores (couple meters away). I would say it is suitable for short and long term stays, I would definitely book again!
