The apartment is spacious and has all the basic necessities. However this was the first time in Istanbul for us and we weren’t aware of the neighborhood. Keep in mind that the house is located right above all the restaurants and super close to all the bars blasting music. Isolation from noise is very poor meaning that you can hear all the hustle and bustle as well as all of people’s conversations in the restaurants, music from the bars etc. You can also hear all the noises from the neighbours. And the cigarette smoke from people smoking downstairs prevails in the air in the apartment as well. As soon as you walk out of the door you get a lot of attention from the restaurant staff trying to get you to sit down at their restaurant and not taking no for an answer. So all in all the apartment is fine but if you are looking for a restful experience it might be challenging.
