The house was located in a perfect neighborhood - within walking distance to many restaurants and cafes and the neighborhood was much calmer than the european side. The house was very cute, with lots of plants and it definitely had a cozy home feel. I knew that the house must be nice because i lived in istanbul and i know the neighborhood, but someone who has never been to istanbul could probably do with a little more detailed description and more helpful instructions from the host. Also, the shower was a pain to deal with - either too hot or too cold and with almost no water pressure. The apartment is on the 5th floor - so it got very hot during our stay.
I would say its a perfect and affordable place for a short stay.
