This place is so lovely and looks very much like the pictures. The bed is comfortable and İrem (our host) was very helpful in providing extra bedding when requested. The room was lovely and clean and the building welcoming and secure. The area is very walkable, as long as you can manage hills. It's easy to get to İskelesi Street and to the Galata tower etc. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

I had a lot of trouble locating the property and even the taxi drivers were not able to understand the exact location. We had almost reached a point that I had to look for another hotel and abandon the booking. Once the call happened. Everything fell in place, but I feel that there is a gap which needs to be addressed at your end.

I was very happy to stay here. Comfortable bed. The location is just perfect. Although very close to everything it was still a quiet neighborhood at night. Very good connections with public transportation. From the apartment to the port takes less that 10 minutes. Overall I would definitely stay here again when visiting Istanbul.
