There is one room type here, the Two-Bedroom Apartment, and it is the entire offering: 50 m², two double beds and one sofa bed. There is no studio below it and no larger category above it, so the only question is whether this apartment's shape fits your party.

Read the beds as a double in each bedroom, with the sofa bed as an extra sleeping spot beyond them. Two couples can take a bedroom each; a family can put adults in one bedroom and children in the other, with the sofa bed as a third option; a couple travelling alone gets a spare bedroom for a child or a guest. Children are allowed, so none of these arrangements needs a workaround.

Because there is only the one apartment, there is no smaller unit you could be moved to and no variation between units of the same name.

The property is an apartment building, not a hotel: what you take is one apartment behind one front door, not a room chosen from a range of categories. There are no upgrades to move between and no neighbouring units of a different size.

The building's facilities do not include a pool, a restaurant or a spa. That is the ordinary shape of an apartment building, and it matters only if your trip depends on one of them.

Check-in opens at 15:00 and closes at 23:00, an eight-hour window; an arrival later than 23:00 is not possible at this property. Check-out is until 11:00, which sets the shape of the departure morning. If you fly into Sabiha Gökçen, about 31.7 km away in a straight line, plan to reach the building before 23:00.

Children are allowed. Pets are not allowed.

The apartment suits a family with children: two bedrooms, a sofa bed and 50 m² give parents and children separate sleeping spaces, and the rules allow children. It suits two couples or friends sharing, since the two double beds divide evenly between the bedrooms and the sofa bed takes a further sleeper. It also suits a couple who want more space than a single hotel room gives.

It does not suit a traveller with a pet, as pets are not allowed. It does not suit anyone whose plans put them at the door after 23:00, the latest check-in. And it does not suit anyone who wants a pool, a restaurant or a spa in the building, since the property has none of them.
