I was on a short layover in Istanbul, arriving at 9pm at night and flying the next day at 1:30pm. I really wanted to see a bit of Istanbul and I am so lucky I chose this place. The location is amazing as it is a short walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the palace (and some other lovely monuments that I didn't have the time to visit.) I opted for the airport pick up and drop off at an extra charge which made my check in and check out process smooth and easy. Alihan responded promptly to all my questions prior to booking, which was great as I was booking the night prior to arriving. The staff was very kind and the neighborhood is quite nice that as a solo female traveler walking around at night didn't make me feel nervous. (On the contrary, I had friends do the same layover a few days prior and stayed in another part of town which they said was VERY sketchy, this definitely wasn't!) Very highly recommend.
