We liked everything about Grandma's House mostly the fact that is very close to Aya Sofya ( about 2 minutes of walking) Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern , public transport and others around the centre/Sultanahmet. Great value. The owners are very friendly. They offered us some snacks and beer after we arrived on the afternoon and we enjoyed this on their rooftop. In the morning we had great breakfast accompanied by a delicious turkish coffe. When we'll be back in Istanbul we'll book here for sure !

This place with the staff of that adorable family that consists of Ahmet, Esin, and their respectful father Omer bey, has the best thing of any family business, the friendly warm adorable comfy cozy atmosphere and hospitality. I visited Istanbul 6 times so far, this so far was the best one ever, so close to the main touristic attractions like Hagia Sophia- Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar,,, etc , So close to the direct to airport bus, so close to the transports, yet, it has a quite peaceful corner that there is no noise around. I even lost all of my money (which had fallen out of my bag without noticing) and they found it and returned it back without a missing cent in 10 minutes . With that amazing AC which usually are not found in Istanbul I experienced a peaceful sleeping that I did not sleep like in last 2 years. This facility will be my destination for every coming journey for me to Istanbul. And TBH I prefer it over a 5 stars Sheraton.
