Great location between Tophane and Beyoglu where you are just a stone's throw from numerous shops and restaurants. I recommend this spot for two adult people who intend to explore the local shops and eateries. You are just 15min by train to the old city where the touristic sites are. And a 15min walk to the river. We were able to make a simple breakfast every morning. The unit is on the 4th floor and as there are no elevators, the host was helpful with bringing my luggage up. He provided excellent local recommendations and was available to assist with scheduling a taxi on our departure. Balcony was a great addition to the space for air and for laundry which was a nice amenity for long travels. Lovely overall.
