Not ready for US tourists
The property is under renovations, the check in was odd, there was just a guy in the entrace area (not really a lobby). He appears to live in a room by the entrance. I did not feel confortable or safe as the man had the code to my door and I appeared to be the only guest there when I checked in. Additionally, there front door is unlocked until midnight and anyone can come in. I stayed one night and left. I had a non refundable reservation and chose to loose the $660 , my safety is worth more than that. There is no elevator and the stairs are steep and snail shape. The kitchen sink was dirty and there was a nasty sponge next to the overused bottle of dish soap.
While Old City Istanbul is in the mist of a revitalization, it is not at all ready for tourists from Europe or the US.
