This is the really perfect place to stay. My room was beautiful, spotless and serene. The roof terrace views to the open water are very special. The breakfast is wonderful. For me the icing on the cake was the coffee available free 10a.m to 11p.m all day every day. It was lovely to come home at night to the terrace and coffee). Elif and all the staff are absolutely lovely and so accommodating (it is a guest house rather than a private home but with the many (and more!) comforts of a home). Elif gave me so many good tips for sightseeing (including going to Eyup via ferry, which I wouldn't have thought of doing myself). The house is located just beside Blue Mosque, Topakai Palace and Aya Sofia (T1 tram line stop Sultanhamet very near - so very convenient for airport as well as all the main attractions; Eminönü about a 10 minute walk or 2 tram stops for all the ferries). Although very close to all the main attractions it's a quiet cul de sac so have all the conveniences but a nice tranquil home to come back to. Also lots of local restaurants (I recommend Magnaura Restaurant where I ate three times during the week). Really wonderful time in your house thank you
