The apartment’s not as good as I expected. The major thing I did not like was a cleanliness. The blinds were dirty, mold in the bathroom(((, broken shower door. It had all basics to cook if you want, towels and hand soap though. No elevator was not an issue for me but be ready for a climb! Location was ok, pretty close to Istiklal st and Taksim Sq. Very noisy because a highway’s right outside, so bring your earplugs. Would not stay there again but it was ok stay.
