the apartment was really lovely, clean and open spaced. the facilities had pretty much everything you need (apart from a microwave and oven). it’s really good value and well worth the money. the air con works and was needed due to the hot weather. it’s a short walk to the trump towers and istanbul cevahir which has shopping and food facilities and a lot of small essential shops around the area.
the only negatives are the fact that the street can be quite loud at night into the early hours (we went during the school holidays, so this might be a factor as to why that was) and the fact that you’re not able to flush toilet paper, you have to put it in a little bin that is provided.
