We enjoyed our stay: Fatih's flat is warm (and it's just perfect in winter), cozy and the neighborhood is quite. It's located not far from Taksim so it takes only 15 minutes to get Havabus stop. A lot of attractions (İstiklal street, Taksim, Galata tower) you can easily reach by foot. We've also liked Sarai lokantasi which is in 3 minutes from apartment.
