    I like everything there)

    Absolutely wonderful place locating exactly in center of Istanbul, 300 meters away of most popular historical places. Beautiful small streets around. The Guest house and their owners gives you feelings like you are at your own cosy loving home. All staff here are very friendly, very helpful. Breakfast was very tasty.

    Location is fantastic. We got up early, had lovely breakfast and did 1 major attraction before the crowds each day. Very short walk to Haiga Sofia etc. Our room was so comfortable and spacious and the roof top was great. The owners were a delight! Gave us excellent advice and were super friendly.

    it was incredible and we returned a second time 2 years later to be met like friends of the family- absolutely recommend! and their is a lift if you have trouble carrying your suitcase up the stairs like I did!

    the location is incredible and we stayed in the balcony room and when woken by our first ever call to prayer we were able to observe the sights and sounds in the pre dawn light from our balcony, the view of the mosques and the old town are fantastic, there is a breakfast buffet that bustles in peak season and the hosts were able to add some of my favourite fruit to the menu!

    Excellent place to stay. Couldn't have been welcomed with more warmth, generosity and kindness. The location is absolutely stunning, with the rooftop terrace (which is open 24/7) giving you great views of the city and the Hagia Sofia. Will be back here!

    Location is perfect, a few minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Area extremely safe, well lit to walk at night. Good plentiful breakfast. My favorite part was sitting on the terrace with the many city guides they have in their bookshelves to plan my next day with the most spectaular view of the Mosque and the sea on each side. Room was spacious and very clean. Hosts were very friendly and great to chat with them. Will definitely recommend to anyone, as location and transportation close by could not be better.
