Clean , comfortable stay close to some of the must sees of Instanbul as well as a great place to stay if shopping for rugs ; made it much simpler to look around , bargain and shop all the while being able to return to room quickly when the temperature started to rise . The a/c was a blessing. The view from terrace was lovely and a perfect spot for taking reading break and coffee. A single , female traveler definitely a secure and safe place temporary lodging. Definitely recommend.
