I read people complaining about the hill, but it’s not bad at all. However if you try to go up the hill to the Main Street then yea, it’s a monster. The solution, walk down to the tram, catch it to the underground tram that goes up the hill and you’re there at the top on the Main Street. Location is seriously amazing for exploring. The trams make life so easy! And Turkish people are always happy to help. There is a cafe about 20 m down the street, became my regular 🤗
Bed is comfortable. Apartment is cute.
People in the area are friendly and it is safe.
Also taxi may not want to drive you home to the spot at peak hour when the streets are full of people. But if you are polite they will. Or just get dropped at tophane tram station and 5 min walk home. They will always pick you up though from the front.
Thank you for a great stay! So helpful!
