The room was small, modern and clean, and very well located, but not without setbacks.

The beds can be push together to make a continuous bed, or separate. I had them pushed together, and it was never uncomfortable to lie in the middle. The lighting was good, and power outlets were conveniently placed. The wardrobe, safe and electric kettle were nice features. The shower always had hot water, the heater worked, and the ventilation in the bathroom was good. Maid service during the day was like a hotel. Overall, a well-functioning and comfortable apartment.

The location was perfect. A couple of blocks from the tram and Grand Bazaar, and a short walk to Sultanahmet square, the location couldn't have been better. It's also off the main street a couple of blocks, so there are lots of great, cheap food options within a couple of blocks, and plenty of corner stores for food and drink.

It only had a couple of minor shortcomings:
- The biggest was that one of the sliding shower doors was missing, and the shower head had a leak that sprayed water perpendicular to the main stream. This meant that almost no matter what angle I positioned the shower head at, water was spraying into the bathroom, leaving me with a a soaked floor after every shower. The floor has a drain, but even so, it was soaked.

- The apartment was also on the 4th floor, with no elevator. Not such a problem for a healthy young person, but still inconvenient when you forget something.

- Sometimes, when I returned home, the apartment smelled like epoxy or solvents. I would air it out though, and it never smelled overnight. This was presumably either due to work being done on one of the units, or from the surrounding shoe/textile shops on the block.

- Most of the day, privacy is limited with the curtains open. There is a textile/shoe making shop across the alley, and people are always at the window. They can clearly look into the apartment, which they do, unless the curtains are drawn.

Overall, it was a great apartment for the price, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, well located place to stay.
