Lovely flat, well located for Trams, Metro and Ferries from Fener about 500m away. Pretty much every method of transport is 8TL so easy to get around. I used Google Maps which had up to date timetables for any trip.
Loads of cafes in the area. Has a Brooklyn or Soho vibe to it. Had fun watching all the "influencers" and "instagrammers" doing photoshoots on the doorstep of Alpers Flat.
Area is hilly as most of Istanbul is so prepare to go home with toned calves.
There's a small corner shop 40m away. Alcohol is sold in special shops, closest about 1km away.
Alper answers any messages within minutes and quick to sort any issues /queries.
