We arrived at the Ataturk Airport at night tired, hot and just a bit grumpy after travelling from Australia. What a joy it was to be picked up at the airport by a driver arranged by the Guesthouse.
As we drove through the old town of Istanbul towards the Guesthouse, we were dumbstruck by the beauty of the surroundings. Winding roads, fabulously decorated restaurants..just beautiful.
On arrival check-in was friendly and efficient. Fortunately there was an air conditioner in the room.
The rooms are as described, not 5-star but have all the things you need and a homely feel to them.
The location is great if you want to see all the historical sites. Topkapi Palace is just around the corner.
The terrace was my favourite spot - a place to gaze upon Istanbul and think about life.
One thing to note is the presence of stairs...quite a number of them...so if you have mobility issues ask about that. I'm not sure if there are any ground floor rooms.
