Very good location to explore Istanbul. Nearby of all historical places, big bazaars and ancients. 7 minutes to Galata bridge & tower, 15 minutes to Kapali Carsu, 24 minutes to Aya Sofya and all by walk! Booked apartment from far away before this one and it was really challenging to go to the center of the city through traffic. If your purpose of stay in Istanbul is to travel in ancient places and enjoy views of Bosfor, then this place is exactly what you need.
Internet speed is good as well
