I was blown away by the amazing view from the room (who doesn't like waking up and seeing Istanbul's most famous landmarks on the other side of a glittering blue harbour?) but the best part of the stay was definitely hanging out with Pi and her husband, their adorable kittens and their friends who popped in (one of whom even cooked breakfast!)

I honestly couldn't have asked for more lovely hosts or a better location from which to explore Istanbul. Loved it!
