We were greeted with Turkish coffee and biscuits and had a very smooth check in. Yusuf's place is very centrally located and at walking distance to attractions in Sultanahmet such as the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. There are also good restaurants a short walk away. The room itself was clean, and good value for what we paid. There is a daily cleaning service. The best part, however, is Yusuf's expertise and advice on local spots and things to do around Istanbul that made the trip much more enjoyable for us. He was also very helpful in arranging our tours in Cappadocia at a good price. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay on a budget.
