We got exactly what we expected. The apartment is large and spacious with several amenities. The apartment does need some minor maintenance and management has been swift in fixing little problems. Management has been extremely responsive and helpful with any information to make our stay enjoyable. There is a lot of construction in this area. There is a large open area outside the apartment and young people park cars on the streets and play excessively loud music until 01:00 every night. I think they use stadium speakers as it sounds like a huge venue. Other than that it is quiet. There are universities nearby. There is 24 hour security on premises and the attendants are friendly and helpful. The Mall of Istanbul and other large outlet malls are very close.
