Our stay in the heart of Sultanhamet was incredible. Our host was very kind and attentive, always available and extra helpful especially during a tense time as we happened to be visiting during the attempted coup. The house itself was cozy and very modern; the host arranged for a traditional Turkish breakfast (for a small fee) every morning on a rooftop that had a spectacular view. The location wasn't only convenient but essential as it was a walks away from some of the most well-known historical sites (blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, topkapi palace) and rather close to a street filled with the soul of restaurants and bars.
