This is a superb place to stay in Istanbul. The location is wonderful - tucked away, but at the same time right in the heart of everything. You are close to all the travel connections that you need, or right by shops and tourist sites if you want to walk. The owner has a cafe on the first floor from which you can have a wonderful breakfast in the sunshine before you head out (this is something not to be missed!). Hattice responds incredibly quickly to messages, and she makes you feel incredibly welcome. 100% recommend staying here (and you'll get fit climbing the stairs!!!).
