While the location was superb in a bustling neighbourhood of Istanbul close to many restaurants and walking distance to attractions, the place wasn't up-to-scratch with cleanliness (eg quite a bit of mold in the bathroom) and the apartment smelt strongly of cigarette smoke, even the pillow cases on the bed, so I wouldn't recommend for non-smokers. The air con was only in one bedroom, not the living space, and the windows are great but can't be fastened so it was quite stuffy in Summer. The bedroom doors also didn't close properly so keep that in mind also if you like your privacy.
