Great location: 15 minutes to metro station, 10 to tram stop, 15 to the Sultanahmed square.
The district is nice. It is lively and a bit chaotic, but never once we felt threatened outside, day or night. While at the apartments, sometimes you hear sounds of the night life in the distance - at a volume so low, that it didn't bother us, but it is there.
3 of 4 walls are literaly windows, hence the nice view of neighborhood roofs and even the sea.
Apartments are on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Someone may find this uncomfortable.
The host is great. He speaks english perfectly well and is happy to help with any info you'll need. Also he has a restaurant in the same building - the best of all we've tried in walking distance.
For the price asked, this apartments are perfect.
