Great public transport availability, lots of places to dine outside for reasonable money. There's a cafe outside, that is run by a Russian owner - you should definitely visit one if you like good coffee and would like to try Russian-style home cuisine with Turkish flavor.
The apartment is neat, it has everything you need, except for the place to cook food. It consists of one big room and a bathroom. The building is old so the ceilings are really high. There was no heating (it was mentioned in the apartment description) so it was a bit chilly at the night.
The host is really warm and welcoming. We were a bit late with our check-in and there was no problem with checking in an hour later.
