The views and location in general could not be better! Close to many important sights as well as great restaurants and bars. Be sure to visit the Kilic Ali Pasa Hamami just down the street next to tram stop and if you plan to take a boat trip on Bosphorus then Kabatas iskele is closer and easier than Eminönü. Only words of caution to elderly visitors or people with small children - Istanbul is hilly and it takes climbing steep streets and many stairs to get around the Cihangir neighbourhood where the apartment is located.
