Couldn't think of a better place to stay in Istanbul. Great area so close to so many landmarks, but just far enough away to not feel squashed by the tourists or like you can't walk a few extra blocks and be all alone for a little while. Not far from public transport at all (though walking is a blast as well), and soooo many good restaurants right up and down the block, and even just downstairs!
The room itself was cozy and well kept, had an awesome view out to the water, a super fun circular mattress, nice cooking essentials, and was just as much a place I could relax in midday as it was the perfect spot to come back to at the end of the night.
Best of all, the hosts were so kind, helped me out with my luggage every time I had to brave those stairs, gave lots of aid when I got into mishaps, had a thorough description of what to do near and far for food and tourism, and were just so full of smiles, I don't know what more a person could ask for!
Çok teşekkür ederim, buraya tekrar gideceğim, yer için, odası için, ve sizin için! Ne güzel bir şehir, döneceğim için bekleyemiyorum!
