We came in very late from an overseas flight and Seyda waited for us and spoke to cab driver to get us the best route to get street. She was welcoming and the place was spotless and very comfortable- I have been coming to Istanbul for decades now and honestly have never stayed somewhere this quiet for sleeping which was a godsend when so jet lagged. The backyard garden bordering the bedrooms is the key to good zzzz's. But it is close to so many great neighborhoods for exploring so great in that respect too.
