Yusuf’s place was fantastic! It was not as expected, and was set up as a hotel, but we didn’t mind this at all. All of the reception staff that we dealt with were amazing - friendly and fantastic hospitality. We were able to leave our bags early, and were recommended a great place for lunch where we met our host Yusef. He was very friendly and kind, definitely recommend.
The room was fantastic! Very clean and great space. The bathroom was great, the bed comfortable - though I was a little cold during the night as my partner stole all the sheets. The kitchen space was great also.
It was walking distance from all of the major attractions (15 minutes Blue Mosque etc), and was in a safe neighbourhood.
Unfortunately we only stayed a night in Istanbul, and I wish we stayed longer. Already cannot wait to return again! 100% recommend for future guests!
