The stay was amazing, the owner was most friendly, the room was very clean and comfortable. There is a breakfast served on the rooftop terrace which was a nice gesture. The neighbourhood is a cute one with many restaurants to eat out in and you can walk to the city centre in 10-15 min easily. I was very happy with the overall experience.

The rooms were very comfortably furnished with enough space. The area is convenient, it takes about 10-15 mins to Sultanahmet by walk and there’s many places to eat around. The owner is a ved friendly person and the breakfast serves on the rooftop terrace was amazing. Would come again and recommend to anyone.
