Great, recently renovated place with an amazing view of the city. The neighborhood itself is very nice with lots of cafes and restaurants, and being on the Asian side it’s also away from the tourist crowds. That said, even though its on the Asian side, it’s within a 5-10 minute walk of the metro and ferries, making access to the European side and all the major landmarks very quick, easy, and inexpensive. As other reviews mentioned, there are some stairs to get up to the place, but they wouldn’t be a problem for most people, even if Mustafa hadn’t been there to help me bring up my things. Overall the place was perfect and Mustafa was an excellent, generous host. Would definitely stay here again!
