Property is at reasonable cost and clean. Location is right next to istiklal street and close to taksim square. The kebab shop below the apartment is open 24/7 so food is not an issue. However, there is a brothel 20 feet away from apartment, and the surrounding area is filled with sex workers and drug addicts. The bedroom curtains are see-through, and the windows do not close properly, so it may be difficult to sleep at night due to the constant lights and noise from downstairs. The wifi was not working when we went. Also the room gets too hot without ac. Only recommended for male travelers in groups looking for low-cost accommodation, as the area seems unsafe for families.
