It was a very good place for the price, we did not expect much as it was a very reasonable price. The walls are pretty thin and we could hear the outside and other rooms' noises pretty well but if you aren't too much of a light sleeper you'd be fine. It is very close to tourist places like the blue mosque and Hagia Sophia and the tram station is a 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. It was very cold in Istanbul when we went (mid-March) but inside the hotel room was very warm and actually a bit hot haha Maybe because of the heater and the weather it was a bit dry. The host is very very nice and accommodating. The taxi arranged by the host to and fro the Istanbul airport was a bit expensive considering the local price. Overall, a very nice stay.
