You can see from the pictures what a beautiful view this room has, and it does not disappoint! There’s nothing like listening to the morning prayer sail in through those open windows as you gaze at the Bosphorus in the morning.
The room is spacious, clean, and comfortable, house is warm (I stayed in the winter), and hot water is consistent. My calves are made of steel climbing six flights everyday, but that’s unavoidable in Istanbul haha! Neighborhood is safe with groceries and markets nearby, hilly, and families mostly (not a loud, busy area at all). 25 minute walk to Istiklani street (I timed it) and even shorter walk to Galata tower and all it’s coffee pastry shops.
Ozgur is an awesome, caring, & considerate person, and he made my first time in this new country an excellent one! Went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and help me understand/accomplish getting around in Istanbul (ie getting transit cards, phone sim, neighborhoods, etc). Not to mention he’s just one of those cool, smart, interesting people you always hope to meet when you’re jet-setting around the world. Won’t forget those chats over coffee. Definitely recommend staying here!
