This place with the staff of that adorable family that consists of Ahmet, Esin, and their respectful father Omer bey, has the best thing of any family business, the friendly warm adorable comfy cozy atmosphere and hospitality. I visited Istanbul 6 times so far, this so far was the best one ever, so close to the main touristic attractions like Hagia Sophia- Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar,,, etc , So close to the direct to airport bus, so close to the transports, yet, it has a quite peaceful corner that there is no noise around. I even lost all of my money (which had fallen out of my bag without noticing) and they found it and returned it back without a missing cent in 10 minutes . With that amazing AC which usually are not found in Istanbul I experienced a peaceful sleeping that I did not sleep like in last 2 years. This facility will be my destination for every coming journey for me to Istanbul. And TBH I prefer it over a 5 stars Sheraton.

From

The location is superb, offering a stunning view over the lagoon and the city of Istanbul from the terrace. We were warmly welcomed by a very kind host, who made both the reserved room and a fully equipped kitchenette available to us, adding greatly to the comfort of our stay. The entire place is tastefully decorated and located in a highly touristic and charming area. In just 8 nights,me and my mom had the chance to feel like locals, which made the experience even more special. There is also an elegant “antique-style” café on the ground floor that truly adds to the unique character of the property, a delightful bonus! We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation, you will not regret a single moment spent here.
