This place was exactly as the pictures, minus a few chairs in the living area and pillows in the bedroom. The place was comfortable, neat and relatively clean. We stayed for about slightly more than a week during the winter months.
Pros: The proximity of the location to Galata Tower, eateries and convenience marts in the area. It is also close to the trams, metro and bus stops as well as a walking distance to the ferry pier. The neighbourhood is safe and pretty quiet and private. The apartment is on the 2nd floor.

Cons: I understand the building might be old but was not pre-warned that the heater might be down and needed to be fixed at times. There were 2 instances where the heater was down and we had to wait 2 -3 hours in the cold apartment for the repairman or the host to come. The electricity was also out for about 1.5 hours on one day. There was also drilling and hammering one night at 11.30pm from next building. No instructions about the house until I asked.
