    Istanbul Guesthouse is a perfect place if you want to discover this vibrant city in a central "bubble of peace", located relatively close to many of the main monuments like the Galata tower or the Pera quarter, but in a quiet, trendy and village-like neighborhood (Cihangir). The place is easy to reach by both taxi and public transport and surrounded by nice shops, cafés and restaurants. Staff were very kind and helpful, especially Erdogan, who provided good tips and recommendations.
