You cannot beat this place for value. It is ideally located, close to the Bosphorus, the metros, the shops, the bus, the ferries, the zillion eating places, the amazing libraries. It is on a safe back street that is easy to get back to at the end of a long tiring day; no big hills to climb. It is quiet except for the call to prayer from the adjacent mosque but somehow you can tune it out . It is super clean and small but has everything you need including hot water around the clock and a well-equipped kitchen . Most of all, its host and brother who substitutes for him when he is not available are the most gentle, caring, helpful people you will meet; they truly make you feel welcome.
