We stayed for a week during the coldest time of Istanbul and the apartment was always warm enough. Its wide windows and city view gave us a nice frame to watch the snow. The location is perfect but not the best if you prefer quiet nights. This wasn't a problem for me because I knew the noise levels of the neighbourhood. The Wi-Fi was quite fast, and the desk was practical, it helped me work at home during our trip. It was nice to find that the janitor came to pick up the rubbish. The host quickly responded to our needs.
