Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff, room is great value for the price, close to all sightseeing places in Istanbul. The room was also clean. Would recommend if you don't need a huge room, but place more value on being close to everything.

Cons:

The address is a bit hard to reach for taxis.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. The room was beautiful, cozy, and very comfortable, making me feel right at home. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming throughout my stay. The location is excellent, with easy access to everything I wanted to see and do in Istanbul. I only wish I could have stayed longer, and I would definitely come back with more time on my next visit. Highly recommended! :)

Pros:

Спасибо хозяевам, связались со мной заранее, мы приехали очень поздно, в 12 часу ночи. Они ждали нас. Хороший отель для транзита, чисто. Конечно, не стоит ждать, что это 5 звездочный отель, но очень чисто, переночевать идеально. Соотношение цена = качество.

Cons:

В туалете был запах, хорошо, что в нашей комнате была еще дверь, отделявшая спальную комнату от туалета. Это спасало

Pros:

Esin was very friendly and accommodating. She helped me to my room eventhough i arrived during the night. The room was good, clean and had airconditioning.
Breakfast was small but tasty, with salty and sweet foods. The view during the breakfast was very nice.

Cons:

Only bad thing was that the room isn't very soundproof, so you can hear everything going on. But thankfully during the night it was quiet.
