The apartment is very much like the photos. It's comfortable but a little bit smallest that you can think. It's located in a non touristic area, the neighborhood is pretty much ugly and noisy. It doesn't seem dangerous though. It was hard to find the house and difficult to walk around because is a climbing area... Is just in front of the mosque and the chants are VERY loudly. The first chant is at 5 am and it will wake you up. Istanbul is pretty cheap to stay, eat and live. We find this place too expensive, especially because of the neighborhood where it's located. I think you can find a better place for the same price.
