I am visiting Istanbul for the weekend and this was a great place to stay for just myself. Kerem checked me in and was very friendly and conversational. He booked me in a room with a seaside view, which on a clear day, allows you to see the Prince Islands. I felt very safe because it is very well lit and is a 10 minute walk from the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia in Sultanahmet which means security and police are always patrolling the area. I highly recommend this location.
