Wonderful, would definitely come back - the staff was so warm and friendly.
Pros:

Warisha was lovely, very attentive and checked we had whatever we needed every day. The location was perfect - a short walk from the hagia sofia/blue mosque. The staff were all very warm and this made our stay so comfortable.

Cons:

We had booked a room with a landmark view of the mosque but did not receive this.

Pros:

Location is excellent for visiting major attractions in Istanbul. The room we got is under the roof. I could hardly stand straight up for shower, though I'm only 5'5.
