The photos of the view don't really do it justice. You have to stand in the open window and see the swifts flying past, or listen to the doves on the window sill, watch the ferries on the river, hear the call to prayer from near and far. A very basic and bohemian accommodation that felt like home after a couple of days, made more welcoming by a genial, smart and knowledgeable guide who makes sure you are happy and looked after. I look forward to going back.
