The place is as advertised. A lovely, affordable place with a terrace which is a lovely retreat after a hectic day of walking and sightseeing. It's on a quiet street away from the hub-bub of the city, but within wallking distance to Taksim Square and about 30-45 walking to Galata, which is a wonderful way to explore that area of the city. Hazal is very responsive and helpful with suggestions of places to see and bars/restaurants to try. All and all a lovely home base to explore the whole of the city.
