The apartment is new, and is placed very close to the Yildiz Technical University in Davutpaça, which is why we chose it (we were going to be working there for a week). The area is rather industrial, so no special charming, but it is convenient for the university. There is a supermarket and a cafe nearby, and also some restaurants not far from the aparment. The aparment is located in a big complex, with private gardens and pool, a pleasant environment (although it is easy to get lost, so big it is!!) It is a nice, fully renovated although small aparment, but more than enough for a couple. There is a dining room with the kitchen inside, a bedroom and a bathroom. We had some trouble with one of the blindings and it was fixed very quickly. The apartment is far from the centre, although the metro is quite close. It takes about one hour to get to the centre, something to take into account if you are in Istanbul for tourism. Overall, a nice experience. There is a control barrier to access the complex, so if you are renting this apartment, it is probably better that you talk to Yasmine to be picked up at the barrier, or to call her the moment you get to this barrier for instructions.
