The apartment was clean and tidy, and the location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to do. Very centrally located and able to walk to most restaurants and attractions. Due to its urban location, it did get quite loud at night. We have a 2 year old, but her sound machine drowned out the noise. As for me and my husband, we are used to urban living and can easily sleep through those noises. Nonetheless, we had a great time in Istanbul and would stay here again!
