“I loved the location as it is close to the "must see" while in Istanbul, yet it was very quiet at night. The style of the guesthouse is tastefully done with the garden being an extra bonus. The staff was caring, present, and friendly from the lady who served breakfast to the man who took my bags and the office people, not forgetting Sophie the cat who kept a close eye on the entire place.” Read more
