Chiko was very friendly and helpful when we arrived. Bed was comfortable and although it was August and very hot the AC and fans worked well, and the wi-fi was very good. The place is right in a tourist street and during the morning we could stroll, have coffee and admire Galata Tour entirely by ourselves before any tourist crowds arrived. The rooftop has a view of all the grand mosques and skyline of Istanbul, and there are so many food and souvenir shops on the street. A great location for our first visit. Highly recommend.
