Its affordable thats for sure, but i had the worst stay experience in Istanbul by far. The bes is okay, but the sheet and blanket were too small. There is a sewage pipe that passes through the entire apartment. So be prepared to keep the windows open at all time even if insects come in. The smell will not go away, the host brought a chemical spraying machine that just mixes really badly with with the smell of Shixt. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. SO YOU NEED YO CARRY LUGGAGE ON SPIRAL STAIRS!! I HAD A BACK PROBLEM AND IT WAS NOT MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION. there is no dish washer and no scale to measure the weight of your luggage. The Host is very friendly though. But over all it was not a pleasant experience. Everything feels very cheap and could eaily break. The iron has a huge burn on it. Oh and the view of the balcony is towads the back of another building where they throw their trash. Its not pleasant on the eyes.
