The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The bed had a comfortable mattress and plenty of extra linens. It was equipped with the necessities. It might be important to know that the apartment really is on an extremely steep hill and unless you are physically active, it might be challenging to go to and from the apartment... especially in winter time. There were dozens and dozens of live, dying and dead termites all over the entrance to the apartment all three days we stayed. The apartment, which is spacious, is also mostly below ground with little access to light. The living room and kitchen are above ground with windows and a balcony overlooking the street. There is no view of the water from the apartment. It is a little more than a kilometre to Taksim Square, which is mostly uphill. I highly recommend for those physically active and for the price, it is generally a comfortable, more affordable option.
