A joyful month in Istanbul here. Truly a gem given how quiet and away from the street it is. In my favorite part of the city and very private. A smaller room with basic fixings, as advertised, but perfectly all you need. Surprisingly the lack of air conditioner did not bother me at all - it was nice and cool inside especially with door open. The garden is special and spacious and you will be greeted with Istanbul's wonderful cats. Shower water heater would go off but I quickly discovered an easy fix when the pressure would go low (normal for Istanbul). Bed is comfortable and WiFi was reliable. Large fridge and kitchen with essentials. Good closet space. Amazing floor tiles and local decor inside. Astrid was a friendly and responsive host. Look forward to staying here again. Most of all, an amazing value for the location and privacy!
