I love Turkey and his people. Generously, polite, very warm. Every time I discover more things, that enjoys me. The host is a very open and friendly person who makes us a nice surprise(a cake for the New Year) and provides us everything we need for a pleasant stay. Teșekkürler Esim!

Lăcrămioara Romania

The hosts and staffs are friendly and offers a lot of help on things to do in Istanbul. Breakfast is good. I love that they put family photos in the dining area that adds warmth and personal touch in the guesthouse.. Location is walking distance from Hagia Sophia and Blue mosque.

Neil Australia

We really liked the hosts, they are such nice people who helps you with every information you need. They stayed with us every day for breakfast, facilitate the communication between tourists. The location is perfect- near the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and also the bus station which you have you take for the airport.

Larisa Romania

Yesim is definitely a helpful lady. The premise location is awesome to tourist areas, metro & airport bus transfer. The breakfast is awesome. The room is clean & simple with basic toiletries. Highly Recommended.

Chris Malaysia

Yesim and her family are very friendly, helpful and provide excellent advice. Grandma’s house provided a comforting place to sleep, have breakfast and the room also had a lovely view. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
