Auténtico Estambul.

La habitación es amplia, cómoda y, a pesar de que viven un par de gatos en la casa, está todo muy limpio. El baño compartido muy bien también.

− Ofrecían parking gratis. O sea, en una calle estrecha con una cuesta como para subir al Everest. Con mucha dificultad, pude aparcar mi moto en la puerta. Descarte otras opciones que parecían mejores por no ofrecer parking.

Everything was very clean and cozy, very near to the center and bus stop so that you can reach everywhere.

− I should only suggest to fix the shower because there was water leaking from the bottom that got all the bathroom wet. But the rest was perfect!!

Awesome stay in this lovely vibrant neighbourhood

Mert son of Nelly was a fantastic host. He always wants to take good care of you like a member of the family. He answered our questions with excellent tips & always goes the extra mile. The guest house is wonderfully located minutes from Taksim Square & half an hour via bus & tram to Sultanahmet. The bus stops are minutes from the guest house. Sharing a bathroom was no problem at all & it’s awesome and hygienically cleaned. It’s great having a small fridge in each room. Staff are fantastic & lovely people cleaning and asking if we require any fresh towels. There are very good affordable shops and eating places very nearby. We enjoyed wonderful kofte, soups and fish meals from a stall at the end of our road (photos attached). Good local affordable eateries & shops on our doorstep. Small shops served us well for water, biscuits, milk, top up of Istanbul card etc. Wonderfully vibrant area full of classy people. Thanks to info from our host, ALBARAKA cash machine 5 minutes away, does not charge a fee to withdraw money from the ATM. I withdrew 10,000 lira which is the limit without any issues (withdraw this amount multiple times if required). There is a brilliant market on a Sunday right next to the guest house selling stunning fresh fruit, fish, clothes etc. Mert is a real ambassador for Türkiye, they are fortunate to have him. Feel free to chat to him about anything as he’s always visible and approachable around the place trying to make everyone’s stay as special as possible. He’s a top man and very genuine and relatable. We will visit again as all his guests love him.

− Nothing, all very positive.

Ho adorato tutto! Menzione speciale per lo staff, terrazza dove è possibile ammirare un tramonto pazzesco e adorabile gattino.

− Non fatevi ingannare dalla brutta reputazione del quartiere. Nonostante fossi una donna sola non ho mai avuto problemi nemmeno di sera.

Cea mai bună alegere pentru un sejur în Istanbul! Totul a fost la superlativ: curățenie exemplară, atmosferă caldă și servicii impecabile. Personalul a fost minunat si foarte amabil. Locația este ideală pentru a explora orașul pe jos sau cu transportul în comun. Raport calitate-preț excelent, merită 10/10 fără ezitare!
