We absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone who visits Istanbul. Its set in the fun, always lively, super trendy area of Taksim and it makes for a perfect weekend getaway. Taner was flexible with us coming in early and the cafe around the corner - "Saray Borekis" - has the most fantastic borek pastries and delicious Turkish coffee that you don't have to wait for. The Balcony is beautiful and it has everything you need. Taner was also great with recos with which Turkish Bath to attend, what to see and do, and even gave us a subway card and he immediately responded to any questions we had.
