Great place with character and charm, view from balcony is great. Very walkable to a bunch of great restaurants and bars / the waterfront areas and ferry’s. Taksim square is central for finding cabs and getting to and from the airport. Chihangir is def a hip area. Contemporary Art museums are close as well as Galata tower. The internet works but is a bit slow to work. There was some loud construction but it’s a big city. Def would stay again
