The place is very handy, cosy and comfy, it has everything one would need for a visit to Istanbul. It is spacy, bright and light. A restaurant across the street, a hairdresser next door and a shop round the clock, a walking distance to the Bosphorus and the ferries port where you can also take the tram to the old part of the city. It is literary 3 minutes fromTaxim square and a nice bakery at the corner. It is also quiet inside, although you can hear the call for prayers from the mosque which spreads above the roofs and adds a special flavour to the experience.
And if it rains the whole day you can just sit and stare through the window at the roofs of Istanbul and enjoy the Laughing doves (Streptopelia senegalensis) hiding under the roof of the terrace.
Islik is very helpful, makes a good introduction to the area and is very punctual!
