This is one of those places I almost don't want to recommend because it might be hard to get a room next time! The owners were incredibly nice, the guest house was comfy and clean, and the doggo was friendly! And the seafood restaurant across the street and down the stairs was :chefskiss:! Great place! Really nice terrace!

The whole experience was great, the owner was very friendly and helpfull, and his wife made a delicious breakfast. The location is near the Hagia Sofia and in the middle of the old town. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Thank you for the beatutiful stay we reccomend the Agora Guesthouse!

The place is a great match for the value I paid (Around 22$ per night), it's near Sultan Ahmed and Aya Sofia, I was extremely happy after meeting interesting and cool people there, and the terrace area and restaurant are quite cozy and cheap, most of the staff are also wonderful and helpful.
