Great place!Great people! Great price! The place was very clean and had all the necessities to make my stay in Istanbul comfortable. The sea view from the room and the terrace is mesmerizing. I only spent a night and half a day in Istanbul, but because of the proximity of the Marmara Guest House to the historic and cultural landmarks , had an opportunity to take a tour of the famous Hagia Sophia and visited the Blue Mosque. Complimentary breakfast pleasantly surprised me with a variety of traditional Turkish foods. I definitely recommend Elif's place and can't wait to return there myself.
