Great stay thanks, lovely breakfast :-)
Pros:

It was wonderful to stay in a place that welcomed us so warmly. The host was amazing, and the morning breakfast was a blessing to start the day and our city adventure. Our room was cleaned daily, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend it. The apartment is in a great location, close to shops and a variety of restaurants, with rooftop seating for sunset views.

Ļoti labā vietā, vienkārša viesnīca, piemērota solo ceļotājiem.
Pros:

Laba atrašanās vieta - netālu no galvenajiem tūrisma objektiem, samērā labas, lai arī ne izcilas brokastis. Patika tas, ka saimneiks dālu no brokastīm turpat arī pats sagatavoja. Izcils skats uz jūru no brokastu terases.
Gaisa kondicionieris strādā ļoti labi, internets ir stabils.

Cons:

Praktiski visi elementi ir ar stipru nolietojumu, kāpnes ļoti stāvas. Istaba pēc izmēra ir kā vienvietīga tomēr tajā ir divveitīga gulta. Vienvietīga gulta dotu vairāk lietojamo telpu. Tušas un tualetes poda savstarpējais novietojums ir nepārdomāti
Neliels atkritumu spainis/pelnu trauks pie viesnīcas ieejas būtu ļoti noderīgs.

Pros:

Ho soggiornato in questo piccolo hotel gestito da due signori gentilissimi, i quali sebbene non parlassero benissimo inglese hanno soddisfatto tutte le nostre richieste. Quando sono arrivato c’era un unico letto matrimoniale, quindi ho richiesto la possibilità di avere due lettini singoli e il giorno dopo sono stato accontentato. La colazione buona, soprattutto il pane tipico turco morbidissimo e la posizione super centralissima a due passi dalle maggiori attrazioni.

Cons:

Inspiegabilmente uno dei giorni del nostro soggiorno non ci hanno ripulito la stanza, ma non avendolo riferito sul momento non ho messo loro in condizioni di poter eventualmente intervenire. La colazione buona, ma tutta salata, infatti vi era poco di dolce, solo torte confezionate e non tipiche.

Стамбул ,первая поездка)
Pros:

В общем и целом за те деньги что я заплатила хорошо. Хозяин выше всяких похвал. Старая часть города ,вокруг конечно много достопримечательностей,музеев и прочее это плюс . Минус это уже к тому что это старый город и много жилых домов таких же старых ,что портит вид ,панораму из окна ,но даёт тот самый стамбульский вайб.Как в сказке. Море в пешей доступности для прогулок,но не для купания места,на пляж нужно ехать. В отеле было чисто ,но заметила пару женских волос и запах (может от кондиционера ,может с моря ).завтрак был включен,принцип шведского стола, полотенца одеяла были. Кстати очень классный шампунь ,волосы после него очень мягкие . Это моя первая поездка в Стамбул,возможно поэтому не могу дать соответствующую оценку. Ведь в каждом государстве или регионе свои стандарты.

Scappate
Pros:

Struttura e personale pessimi. Avevamo prenotato fidandoci delle foto viste sul portale ma la camera non corrispondeva assolutamente a quella prenotata. Camera claustrofobica, sporca e bagno minuscolo, senza neanche la tenda per la doccia. In pratica era uno sgabuzzino. Siamo scappati via e costretti a prenotare una nuova struttura stesso in giornata. Abbiamo richiesto quindi il rimborso ma la struttura non risponde alle nostre mail e richieste. Lo sconsiglio assolutamente se non volete rovinarvi la vacanza nella meravigliosa Istanbul.

Cons:

Tutto, servizi inesistenti e pulizia pessima.
