The place is good for singles or family, because as single female there was not a single cafe unless you went up to the main road. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving at 9:00 pm and coming back late. I would put some extra money and maintaining the apartment. The building itself had this humidity so many nights left the windows open with no screen. The bedding towels were very old had stains holes I washed mine every 3 days. The bathroom had this smell. If you want to go to other parts of Istanbul you have take bus metro and again metro.
