What I liked:
1. Perfect area for first time tourists to Istanbul.
2. Plenty of shops and cafés around, which open till late in the night.
3. Quiet once the balcony sliding glass is closed.
4. Safe building with access only to the occupants of the flats.
What I didn’t like:
1. Patio furniture, in the balcony overlooking the tower was broken (the owner did offer to replace with an unbroken one)
2. Light switches had knobs removed (owner explained, they were purposely removed in fear of visitors damaging them) which made me feel like I’ve hired a low budget hostel.
3. Blinds in the bedroom were taken down and kept behind the closet(Again gave a sense of lack of privacy, although it opens to a wall, but on the left most side there are balconies of other apartments who could peep in)
4. Bed sheets and towels were very old rags.
5. Heating system made aggressive loud noise.
In all, the place was liveable and can improve with a little more attention but will I live there again - Never
