At Alexis' lovely apartment you are in the heart of one of Istanbul's coolest neighborhoods! There are lots of great cafes, restaurants and hammam nearby, making it an excellent base to explore Beyoglu. If you don't mind hills (there are a lot of them in this area!) it's conveniently located for public transport such as the T1 tramline to Fatih/Sultanahmet. The apartment itself has a very tasteful local feel in fitting with the surroundings, and is very comfortable.
