Çayka’s room at istmarina was perfect, the pictures represented the place well, especially the mood and beauty but I was actually surprised to find that it was much bigger than I expected. Everything was clean and in working order and the check-in and communication was great. The building itself has a mall below, really adding value to the experience, all shopping can be done within minutes, with everything you can imagine available and the seaside walk is a stones' throw away. If you're planning a trip to Istanbul, the room is perfect but so is the calm location. It only costs about $5 to get into the more lively areas fairly quickly, with a taxi place below the room . I would highly recommend staying here.
