The place is in a great location - walking distance to Taksim, Istiklal, Galata, a variety of cool areas with tons of restaurants and bars. Easy walk to Sultanahmet and all the tourist attractions in that area. There are little grocery stores throughout the neighbourhood where you can pick up plenty of fresh fruit and veggies, water, etc. Highly recommended if you want to stay in a cool walkable neighborhood close to all major attractions and fun parts of the city.
