The flat is in the heart of Cihangir, a very artsy hipster(ish) neighborhood. There's a cool atmosphere as you walk around and it's full of nice bars and cafes with lovely interesting people. You're also close to the metro and to the never sleeping neighborhood of Beyoglu. Loved the place and would definitely stay. Bonus points to Selçuk who is a tremendous host and with whom I had a very nice chat.
