The apartment was excellent. we wanted to respond to a few things that we had read by other guests before we went to help others make up their mind. Re: noise, we found the area to be quiet at night and no noise was unexpected given this area is filled with shops and small industry (mostly shoes) productions. That means some early morning rolling up of shutters, some hooting periodically of transport but nothing irritating. It is an interesting neighbourhood, and we, as two women, felt perfectly safe in this neighbourhood late at night.
It is a great location for walking to many of the sights, equally it is handy for the tram. There were plenty of local places to eat in the close vicinity.
We were pleasantly surprised that the room was serviced every day and we appreciated it. And staff are around in the management office all the time and attentive to any requests. We loved Istanbul and if we get the chance to come back we will definitely stay here again.
