Our host Faruk was fantastic, always quick to respond and willing to help, including sending pix with instructions to avoid confusion on small specific things. Check in and out was a breeze.
The room is freshly renovated and looks just like the pictures, meaning beautiful. The plumbing is great, nice constant hot water without pressure issues. Fresh linens, towels, etc! Very hotel like.
There's an elevator, however this starts on the second floor after a flight of stairs. To be fair, you probably should not visit Istanbul if you have mobility issues. The entire area is on steep slopes.
The room is located on the main street leading to the Galata Tower. It's busy. There's drunk tourists yelling at night sometimes as they walk, so bring ear plugs!
Nice cafes nearby, but expect tourist pricing.
We had a great time and highly recommend for couples looking for a nice romantic room that's a little "extra" in it's style. :)
