Nice place with good people. The area is nice. Metro right around the corner. Not a far walk for the tram to get to Hagia Sophia or ferries to go to the Asian side. Coffee shop underneath where you can order breakfast. Really good location with shops, restaurants, and bars all around. Really good spot. Highly recommend if backpacking.
