This is a new 2-level apartment. It's very comfortable, with a big living room and a fully equipped kitchen.
It was very clean and tidy. Compared to the standard Istanbul properties, it is modern, with new appliances, underfloor heating, oven, ideal for longer stays. The view from the balcony is nice.
It's easy to find a parking spot in the street, although there is no dedicated parking space.
The location is not ideal, it's somehow distant from the tourist areas and there is some noise from the avenue in front of the building. There is an interesting local market nearby though.
There are some areas for improvement: there is no TV and some better noise insulation would be useful. There is a coffee machine and a tea pot, but no coffee or tea, and there was no soap, shampoo and body shower.
I gave a 5 rating though because of Rashad. He's a great host, helpful, polite, discreet and always available. I'm sure that with a little effort this can become a top choice for everybody.
