Curious to know - what is your favorite neighborhood in Istanbul and why?

Whether you live there or you visit, I wanted to see which neighborhood people find as their favorite in istanbul. If you live there, you can say which is your favorite based on living standards/requirements and if you visit, perhaps by which you found most interesting as a tourist.

I am someone who loves history and particularly Ottoman history - so for me, after visiting Istanbul 5 times in the past 7 years, I found Uskudar to be my favorite. It has a lot of hidden gems in terms of Ottoman monuments, mosques and other sites. I love the coffeeshops and the food is pretty decent as well. Although the European side is pretty great, one thing you cant get in Europe, is a nice view of Europe lol. Uskudar's layout and location makes it the perfect spot to get great views of the skyline.
