Stay here....Go everywhere!!! Safa's family owns and operates this 20-unit apartment hotel, building a better 17-unit property across the street. He and resident housekeeper are HERE everyday (unlike Japan B&Bs). I suggested adding a microwave, more useful and cheaper than a dishwasher. Everything works! I nominate Safa for 2018 SuperHost. He and his brother welcome you. Istanbul is one of the world's greatest cities at the X-roads of world civilization. The 600-year Ottoman Empire was wealthy, wealthy, wealthy! We're two months in Greece and Turkïye. October is the best month. Vineyard Cave Hotel in Goreme-Kapydokya is the BEST hotel in 50 years!!! Book direct.
My favorite Turkïye bank is YAPI KREDI BANKASI (KOÇ Group).
