this place is at a great location only 10ish minutes to Aya Sofia and maybe 15 minutes to Grand Bazar. we planned spending our 4 gull theys walking around so accomodation was fow showering and sleeping. for what we needed, it was great. it is not a five star hotel but the price is very fair for the location. + we actually parked at the street for free which is a major plus for Istanbul in general, let alone dowtown Istanbul!!!! the stairs are narrow, this was not a problem for us but maybe for someone it will. Yousuf is a great host, very kind person always ready to help. we will come back
