A very noisy apartment since it's right below the production facilities of an advertisement firm, a maker of metal emblems. The machines starts in the morning making it impossible to sleep after 9 AM due to the repetitive machine arms pressing out materials. I expected residential zoning but it seems to be quite flexible.

Overall the apartment is clean and has everything one might need including washer and general cleaning supplies and the pictures depict the unit properly. The host is very attentive, but has accumulated quite a few maintenance issues, but nothing to complain about given the price the unit is offered at.

The location is perfect for going out in the evening and hopping on the tram to the historic district. Unfortunately Istanbul in general is having some security issues and 11 people were killed by a roadside bomb in the area we were exploring in.
