Sabriya's place is a comfortable, clean room in her well decorated attic apartment, she is a friendly, communicative host, interested in people and surely would answer any questions about Istanbul that she could. The set up is of a house share, not a hotel. The shower is excellent, and there is a lovely balcony with skyline view, great for breakfast! The area is handy for Independence Street, but set back from it so quiet. My brother and I really enjoyed the three nights we spent there!!! Recommended!
