Great prime location! Nor far from Galata Tower and the Tram station within walking distance. Many restaurants and shops. 10 minute walk to Taksim Square. Very safe and secure area. Grocery store also few doors down. Like other older Istanbul residential homes there's no AC, but there is a fan which worked for me. Stairs are a little tricky, not the same height, but stairwell is well lit, just pay attention. Would recommend.
