The neighborhood is very unusual. It is located in a wholesale leather for boots, shoes, and leather jackets or alike. Therefore, it is noisy at night due to delivery. My sister complained a lot about this issue as it work her up all night periodically. If you are not a sensitive sleeper, you should be fine here.
The outside look of the building was awful and seemed unsafe for ladies. We asked the taxi driver twice whether he took us to the right address! But it was just the look as when we get used to it, we found that people are nice and friendly. So please do not let this scare you of. The location is pretty good for those who need to use a tram. It takes about 5-7 minutes. Grand bazaar is about 10 minutes. But it takes about 20-25 minutes to Spice market which we also found a wholesale market for clothes, shoes, spice, coffee, ect...that were much cheaper than those sold in Spice market.
The apartment is exactly as the photos advertised. Newly renovated so it worth the money:-)
The host was so kind to help us locate the bag we forgot on the airport shuttle...nice work indeed:-)
