Habitación privada en Gamonal

My stay with Paul and Yvonne was quite nice. They were extremely welcoming and helpful, providing tons of information about their neighborhood and Istanbul in general. I would stay with them again, and hope to do so. Delightful people!

Few other considerations are in order: 1. The location is mediocre at best. Finding their place is a challenge; more importantly, its hillside location is hard on the legs, no matter who you are. Yes, it sits in a trendy, less touristy neighborhood, but the upcoming Karakoy district is also trendy, closer to the museums and the water,and a much, much easier walk. 2. The guest bed is not very comfortable and should be replaced. 3. While their rates are reasonable, an astute shopper will find a lot of 3 and 4 star Istanbul hotels in that same price range.

My stay with Faye Smith was quite nice. They were extremely welcoming and helpful, providing tons of information about their neighborhood and Istanbul in general. I would stay with them again, and hope to do so. Delightful people!
