The best part of this apartment is the location. It is perfect for seasoned travelers who want access to public transportation to popular tourist sites, but also want to experience a historic and distinct neighborhood. The neighborhood - TomTom - is a creative hub filled with unique shops, bars, galleries, and restaurants. We very much enjoyed having the outdoor deck to sit in and have a drink at the end of the evening. It's an easy walk to Karakoy where you can stroll the boardwalk or catch a ferry to Anatolian side. You may want to take the Tunel funicular back though. The surrounding streets are twisting and slanting cobblestone - some are quite steep - so be sure to bring comfortable shoes.
