Great place to stay and very close to the train station , ferry lines and the sea for beautiful views and you also will be on the Asian side. Many restaurants in the area, a 10 to 20 minutes walk to shops. And 25 minutes to Sirkeci station and that’s close to the Grand Bazzar, Galata towers and all those places that most people want to explore.T is a great host and his place is very spacious. , you won’t be disappointed.
