Yusuf made us feel very welcome when we arrived, offering us Turkish coffee and biscuits. He speaks wonderful English which made conversation easy. We had some trouble at a hairdresser nearby and Yusuf got on the phone and sorted it out.
The room did not look like the one in the pictures. Our room looked a little unfinished. Beds were not very comfortable. My bed did not have a mattress protector or a fitted sheet, so every morning I would wake up touching the mattress.
The spa bath in the room was a godsend after walking the hilly streets of Istanbul for a week. But there was no fan in the bathroom so the condensation would stay in the room and make everything wet and slippery. The private sauna and "massage" were unstaffed. When I went to use the sauna it got to 30c. When I went up to tell Yusuf he told me he would fix it but I didnt worry about it. I think it is better to just pay to go to a hammam.
Rooms were cleaned everyday. There was a leak in the bathroom that had a bowl under it. Not a neighborhood that I would want to walk around alone at night as a single woman. Lots of good food places about 5 minutes away.
