Wonderful hosts. Ali met us upon arrival and gave us a quick introduction to Istanbul and where to go. Whatever we needed he provided to us so fast, from irons and umbrellas to taxi arrangement. Him and his brother Mehmet are the true faces of turkish hospitality that you will experience throughout Turkey. The location was on a quiet alley and away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul but yet within walking distance to iconic areas. We walked to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the grand bazaar, and Egyptian bazaar. The cruise ferry was also across the street from the stay which helped. Definitely recommended.
