The apartment is fine. The pictures are pretty accurate; it is very masculine and quite spartan, but the bed is comfy and it is in a quiet area. The apartment is listed as being a short walk to Istiklal, which it is, but it is also in a quite run down area on the other side of the highway. As a lone female traveller, I didn't feel particularly safe walking there by myself at night time and would not stay in the neighbourhood again as it is quite poorly lit and dark at night time. There was a problem with the drains and the apartment smelled really bad the whole time I was there which really ruined my experience.
