Cons:
-If you're picking this place for the distant view of the Bosporus, it's not worth it. Especially during the winter. There's a construction going on as of Nov.22, you can't sit on the balcony during day time as it's noisy and very close to the construction.
-If you don't like to walk or climb stairs around the streets, or walk uphill, this location is not for you.
Finding a parking spot around the neighborhood is chaotic. Extremely tight streets, uphills/downhills. If you're an inexperienced driver pick another district, this area is not for you.
