Great location : 8 mins walk to Galata Tower where you will find most of the cafes . 4 mins walk to tram station called Tophane which is only 2 stops away form karokoay and 3 stops from SUltanahmet.. 15 mins walk to Istaklal street.
Neighbourhood : okish , over priced cafes , but cheap Tandoor for fresh Pide , lahmachun and other breads. Must try.
Apartment : Cosy small and half underground! Windows open right on the pavement , so good luck with a "view" or privacy. Bedroom kitchen and toilet are next to each other within 2.5 meters of proximity. If you can not bear noise of traffic or people chatting in the middle of the night on the street or upstairs then this is not for you.
