Reviews
Everything I needed was provided, including shampoo, soap, slippers, and other essentials, so the stay felt very comfortable. I stayed for 6 nights and had no problems at all.
At first, I found the location a little confusing and honestly felt a bit uncomfortable, but after 2 days I realized it was just because I wasn’t familiar with the area. Once I got used to it, I found the location to be actually very convenient and close to the tram and Hagia Sophia area/market.
Overall, the price was fair for what was offered, and I think it was definitely worth it. I had a very pleasant stay
