The apartment was incredibly central to pretty much everything. Its about a 5/10 minute walk to Istiklal Caddesi (which is the main commercial shopping street where you can find stores and lovely places to eat). Its about a 2 minute walk to the Tepebasi bus stop where you can find buses going Taksim, Eminonu etc. The apartment was on the second floor, very clean and tidy and suited the needs for 2 people during the 8 days we stayed there. We also met the cheeky cat of the building!
