This room was perfect for my long weekend in Istanbul. The room is part of a hotel, with someone on the front desk at all times of the day. My special thanks here go to Mesut, for being so welcoming and unfailingly helpful during my stay. Teşekkürler, Mesut.
The room was clean, and had everything I needed: comfortable double bed, good shower, plenty of storage space, a safe - and a little balcony.
The location was ideal for me: a short walk (I'd say 4 mins) from Taksim Square, where the bus from the airport dropped me off. I explored the city mostly on foot - İstiklal Avenue is a 2 minute walk away, and from this street it is very easy to locate yourself and follow it down to the sights of Galata (such as the tower) and over the bridge to Eminönü and Sultanahmet. There are trams that can take you that way if you don't fancy the walk.
A great place to stay to visit Istanbul.
