The place is in an old building but has been renovated nicely - clean place, nice view of Bosphorus, happening spot near Galata tower - the only downside was that the place is on a hill - while my wife and kids loved that fact, my mom had a tough time - I got cab for her most of the time - however, for short distances she often had to walk and she found the landscape challenging - rest was good - it was a unique experience - close to everything including trams and metro - I hope to come back to Istanbul again !!
