Cutest hotel in no so nice neighborhood

We loved the hotel. It was wonderful to have 2 separate rooms, a perfectly sized, clean kitchen area. The hotel was ev er so quiet and after walking 8 hours, this was bliss! I think we were on the ugliest street in Istanbul, but for the savings and general location - we would go there again!

쿰카프역에서 멀지 않고, 가격 대비 방 컨디션이 아주 좋은 숙소입니다. 주인도 친절하고 필요한건 바로바로 도와줌 창 밖으로 멀리 마르마라해가 보여서, 특히 발코니 있는 방의 경치가 좋음
