The place was situated behind Taksim, the people who work around the building are very kind, especially if you can speak a few words of Turkish. Although it was a quiet place, the traffic was rather loud - right off the main street. No problems from the neighbors, some of whom were foreigners (British, etc). The WiFi is good for watching Netflix, but unreliable for distance teaching (what I had to do - I recommend Turkcell data plan if you have to have meetings). Everything worked as planned, water sometimes got stopped up, but I've experienced that all over Istanbul. There's a washing machine, but no way to dry the clothes, which was a bit inconvenient. TV contains the basic channel plan. bed sheet doesn't fit the bed, and when I had a friend over, they often complained that they were cold (even with the heat on). Definitely enough storage - more than enough - and enough space to have two or three friends over. Only ONE bedroom (when I bought it, it was listed as a two-bedroom, which is incorrect). The door has no handle, but they have already a system in place in case you lock your keys inside the apartment - very simple and you don't even leave the street! İt's exactly what I would expect for the price. Thank you Volkan and Velat!
