Let me first start with saying how wonderful the host was and attentive he was to everything. If you are looking in this area you are likely looking for quiet area with accessibility to food and cafes , this checks all those boxes.
Cats , let’s face it if you are in Istanbul cats are one of the main attractions. This area does not disappoint there are around 5 that hang around that are the sweetest. Check right across street in the bushes for a hangout.
Cafes, down the street on the corner is the cafe that I recommend more than any one I have visited here, Kahvely.
Apartment, very large apartment more space than we needed. It stays warm , has an elevator. One thing to note is shower/tub is small so if you are tall may be a challenge. Also the residents in building at times you can hear.
Internet, as most know internet in Turkey is very subjective. The internet here averages around 35mb however , the latency is consistent around 150ms to the states with very very little jitter.
