Lovely room on the top of a 3 levels house. Fatma and Hassan are a lovely couple that would do anything to accommodate their guests. Turkish tea or coffee time, recommendations of good spots, restaurants, and transportation. Fatma is very available. I've heard good and bad stuff about Beyoglu, the neighborhood is quite "popular" and can be surprising but remains a safe area, very close to Istiklal street and Taksim square. Perfect for solo travelers as you will never be alone in this house but still get privacy and the key to your room. I recommend!
