The apartment is well decorated, centrally located and comfortably furnished. Emry is incredibly nice and approachable. The big draw back of this space, particularly since it is a somewhat expensive listing for Istanbul, is that it is noisy. The apartment is located on the first floor overseeing a very busy road, so cars are constantly buzzing. On the weekends the noise is much worse and quite unbearable for light sleepers, even with ear-plugs and white noise blasting. Overall, the walls are somewhat thin and we could even hear neighbors next door watch TV and those above fighting. All in all - recommended if you don't mind the noise.
