If you are lucky enough to have this place available, when you are searching for a place to stay in Istanbul, don’t give it a second thought, but this place immediately. I would be surprised if it is not booked 365 days a year. The host is charming and generous. He gave us recommendations for dinner, hamman, and also held our luggage after check out. When we checked in, he spent several minutes guiding us through a map reviewing all of the important places to visit. The location is comfortable. There are two bedrooms and both beds are comfortable and there is also a large sofa. The location is right where you want to be if you want to visit all of the important cultural attractions. The host also offers reasonably priced private transportation to and from the airport.
