Good value for money accommodation.
Two food shops just 2-minutes walk from the flat. About 10 minutes walk to Istikal street.
But keep in mind some steep slopes around in the area. Good to walk from Taksim square if you have arrived by Havabus, but walking back to Taksim square with a suitcase would be a hastle, so taxi strongly reccomended, costs about 25-30 turkish lira. Was easy to catch get taxi on the street, but it was sunday 8.30am, other times of the day looked very busy, with lots of taxis passing by anyway.
Would stay again.
