Our stay in Istanbul was made MUCH better by our hosts Yusuf and especially Erol. The location couldn't have been better as it was walking distance to everything that we were looking to do and Erol provided a lot of excellent tips on places to go, places to eat, and even on when was the best time to go to these places. Erol also arranged our cruise on the Bosphorus. We HIGHLY recommend staying here it has everything you need at a good price and the accommodation itself was clean and safe. I/we can't say enough good things about our stay there.
