We enjoyed our stay here very much. Safe neighborhood, and very close walking distance to great cafes and shops in New Town ("New" if you consider a 14th century tower 'new'), and a short walk down the hill to cross the Galata bridge to Old Town for ferries and major historic sites (Blue Mosque / Aya Sofia / Grand Bazaar). There's a great coffee shop immediately next door. We ended each day on the rooftop -- great views of everything lighting up at night. The 24/7 doorman meant that our very late arrival (2:30am) was no problem. There was even a small Euro washing machine in the unit which was helpful to refresh after our previous week of traveling.
