Fantastic location and an amazing view of the Bosporus to wake up to. Ismet is an amazing host and will make sure that your stay is perfect. You’re a stone's throw from most tourist destinations and within 200 meters distance of the nearest tram stop and makes getting around Istanbul more than manageable even for the most timid of travellers. Cleaning lady is really lovely and deserves a mention.
The place feels safe and secluded despite being close to Taksim and near Galataport so you’re also always spoilt for choice of places to go to wonder around or eat. Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Istanbul and will be using Ismet’s place again on my next visit.
