Absolutely incredible neighborhood. Such a cool artsy street with tons of cute cafes, shops, and art galleries. After business hours the place is very quiet so if you're choosing your goal is to have bars and restaurants all around you this isn't the place for you. But its only 10 minute walk to Taksim on one end and on the other end its about a 5-7 minute walk to the train and the waterfront. By the waterfront there is a modern shopping district with shops and restaurants. I would absolutely recommend this place!
