Naz Wooden House is a treat. The house itself is a look back into the Ottoman era, but it's history goes back to the Byzantine because it was built over the ruins of a palace which is incorporated into the house itself. Although the rooms are small (clearly stated in the details), they are comfortable and very clean. The wifi signal is strong and reliable, so uploading all those photos of the day to Facebook worked easily. Breakfasts are ample and traditionally Turkish with breads, cheeses, eggs and fresh sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. What truly sets this place apart are its location and hospitality. It's located just a 5 minute walk away from the Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. The staff are warm, friendly and happy to help with anything needed. I had a birthday while I was there and the staff brought me two slices of a just out of the oven turkish cake. The only caveat I have is for other older adults who have trouble with stairs. Since this is an old house, the stairs are closer to spiral ladders and do require care, especially going down. If I return to Istanbul, this would most definitely be my choice of accomodation!
