The apartment is brand new, beautifully decorated and had everything that I could have wanted.
The one thing that you have to be aware: The apartment is in a gentrifying area. The whole area is basically a building site, which means dust and some noice. Also, the intersection just in front is fairly noisy at all hours.
I was traveling alone and I did not mind at all. The reward is a beautiful view over the Anatolian/Asian side of Istanbul. Also, I loved seeing how much the area developed in a short time. So for me, this is not a negative, but just FYI.
Demet is the most wonderful, thoughtful host, you could imagine.
I am so happy I found this place.
