This was my first stay at a private room rather than a full unit. An absolute wonderful host that made my stay in Istanbul truly special. Fetiye, Seren's mom, went far above my expectations in making me feel welcome. Her advice on what to do, where to go, and how to get there was priceless; it was like having a private concierge/family member that looked out for you. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. The view from the roof top deck is unmatched; even more so considering the price. The room is cozy and so was the bed, but that would not deter me from stay again if the opportunity presented itself. After all, if you're spending that much time indoors, you're not making the most of Istanbul.
Fetiye, thank you so much for being a generous and welcoming face of Istanbul.
