The apartment itself is very pretty - large, spacy, and with almost everything, you need to stay. Also, the hosts were amazing - they helped out with a lot of things.
The only thing that my friend and I hated the most was the location. This location is not for a work-from-home place. A couple of things:
1) The building's ground floor is a burger restaurant, so the whole building smells like it. Sometimes the smell sneaked into the apartment
2) The street that the bedroom faces is a 12/7 party street. Sometimes it was so much loud that the earplugs didn't help. Especially Friday/ Saturday nights were horrible - the base from the club in from was so massive, that we could feel it in our bodies.
3) During the daytime the same location turns into a rebuilding place due to night parties.
In general, we felt that we don't have any personal space because there was a lot of people day and night around. That made me the biggest frustration ever. Consider this if you are looking for a home where you can work in peace.
The only plus side of the location is a couple of coffee shops around, super close to Karakoy port and Galataport. That makes it the perfect location if you are day time exploring the city and partying at nighttime.
