The apartment is located in a good neighborhood with plenty of great restaurants around, and it's conveniently accessible to transportation. It takes only about 5 minutes to walk uphill to Taksim. The apartment doesn't seem to be newly renovated, but it has all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay, and it matches the photos provided. The owner is friendly and responsive, and he was quick to assist with any questions. I would say that the apartment is reasonably priced for what it offers. It's not luxurious by any means, but it's a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly place to stay in Istanbul for several days or weeks.
