Great experience overall and great value for money, especially in Istanbul, which is booked up in the high season. Clean, freshly renovated 1 + 1 apartment in the historical Vefa neighborhood. Even the internet was pretty fast, which is a big luck in Turkey. There's also Netflix available on the TV set. There were some noise issues: people were slamming the entrance door downstairs, otherwise it wouldn't close. Also, people like to hang out outside by the nearby fast food joint, which works till late night on weekends. Otherwise, we were very comfortable. Also, it is a great location: the airport shuttle bus stops very close to the neighborhood, there is a subway and tramway station, lots of dining options. Would recommend
