What an amazing hotel. It's run by a bunch of friendly cousins who obviously love each other a lot with the purest of hearts.
I won't go into detail but I got into a stressful jam on my first day there in which I needed help and one of the cousins (Kalen) went seriously out of his way to make sure I'd be alright. He also personally walked the city with my friend and I, taking us to the Suleymaniye mosque and to the Theodosius Cistern.
Ömer is incredibly warm, funny, and genuine. He's a lot of fun to talk with, just a great guy. He helped us find local places to visit and really ensured we felt at home there.
Eymen I smoked hookah on the upstairs terrace with! We listened to music, had fun conversation for 2 hours, snuggled their pet cat, and shared tea together. Eymen, congratulations on just getting accepted to your school program, and I wish the best to you!
This place made my heart glow. I mean, if the place isn't enchanting and gorgeous as it is, it's got *personality*. I love this place. Staying here for my last 2 days in Istanbul was a great call.
