Yusef's place was comfortable, in a great location and staffed by the most helpful people. They knew Istanbul well and helped immensely. They always had a smile, time to chat and a cup of coffee waiting. The rooms were simply furnished and spacious. We woke up every morning to a cat staring in at us from the fire escape. The kitchenette was well stocked. It is walking distance to the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia. The tram is a 10 minute walk. A great place to stay.
