look no further than Medar Hotel. this is the best location and great little hotel and the price is so reasonable. We absolutely loved staying at Medar. walk right out your door and your uber will pick you up, ( yes your uber app works here and it is super cheap) or take the tunnel down to the waterfront or the Metro is right there too or walk the coolest walking street in Istanbul. it's all there. wonderful safe location, they even arranged to have our laundry done. can't wait to go back to Istanbul and we will stay at Hotel Medar. Also, great service, gave us the metro card and told us how to load, very easy and public transportation for this location is perfect and easy. thank you wonderful staff
