Just about everything about our experience was wonderful. The apartment was clean and looked very modern. We were very close to most of the main attractions of Istanbul, the metro was just a couple of blocks north, and there were several restaurants we liked in our neighborhood. We had a very nice view from our balcony and we loved hearing the call to pray each night during our stay here. Even the hallways leading up to our apartment were well kept and we absolutely enjoyed our stay here.

One other thing that was great was we were left fresh eggs, milk, bread, tea, coffee, fresh fruit and other items for us to eat. In addition we were left some basic toiletries and detergent for the washing machine. It was unexpected but very welcome. :) There is a minimart on the same block which was also helpful for last minute items.

Our only word of caution was although we were very close to the main attractions and less than a 5 minute walk to the main street, we did think the street our apartment was located on was a bit poorly lit. Although we had no issues as couple, we could see individuals taking a bit more caution coming home late at night.
