Me and my daughter, spent beautiful 10 days in this very nice Artist district of Istanbul. I was positive surprised from this cute flat.
A lot of nice Pubs and Restaurants with live music are in the vicinity.
I am a little handicapped, and the streets are uphill, but even for me it was not a big problem to walk. Also the distance to the great shoppingstreet "istiklal caddesi " is not so far.
Advice from my side, if you want to drink and eat something, go to the small and nice Artist Pubs behind the big streets. The atmosphere is much better and cheaper.
For us, this cute flat and this nice artist area, was a great decision.
