It was great to have our own space with fridge kettle and stove. The apartment is very well cleaned but well worn in places. There is an office below the apartments which is handy as during the day there is always someone around. It is not in the historical center of Istanbul so bear in mind you'll need to take a taxi to get to the big tourist sites (taxis are cheap compared to the UK) but is in a good location for shopping. There's a great place to get traditional food just opposite, ask the guys in the office, they are friendly and happy to advise you. Thanks
