Roza and Chiko’s place was perfect for my husband and me when we visited Istanbul for 2.5 days. Check in was extremely easy. Our place was spacious and had everything we needed, including a washer. The location was what made the place worth it. It’s near Galata Tower which the street is only ever empty at 3:00 AM. I enjoyed this area more than across the bridge, which is just an 8-10 minute walk and then the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia were about 1.2-1.5 miles away. It was an easy walk. If you want to hail a taxi I would walk down a block or two to make it easier. There are several restaurants near by and a few pubs as well. I highly suggest Galista Galata for food and entertainment, Tower pub for more of an American feel and a larger variety of drinks, Guney Restaurant for lunch, and just a few minutes walk there is a cute quaint street that has a few cafes and Dükkan was a unique one to eat at. Overall, I would come back and stay at Roza and Chiko’s place again and definitely take advantage of the rooftop.
