The apartment looks bigger in reality than in the pictures. The bed is bigger in reality too. There is a balcony. The area is next to many malls and big supermarkets. There is a bus to Istanbul airport about 5 minutes away. There was a good smell when we got to the apartment. The host was polite, and bought us water, coffee, tea, and washing liquid. The building has a 24 hour reception, and it is very secure. There is also a social area and a gym in the same building.
