“Very friendly staff and good located in the heart of Istanbul. A big recommendation for the price you pay.”
The son of the host was very friendly! The room was quite big and was only five minutes away from the Main Street. They have a sweet cat and fulfil every wish you have. We could wash our clothes for 300 Lira.

“Excellent value and a great location.”
Great location close to Taksim Square,a major transport hub, but in a side street so it was quiet at night. Nelly was very hospitable serving us tea and a fresh slice of cake upon arrival.

“Great stay in Central Istanbul”
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Nelly's guesthouse. It's located centrally near Taksim square and close to some bus stops and a market, yet in a quiet street. The room was perfect and also the common facilities were well kept and spacious. Nelly is a lovely host and it was nice to meet her and her family, although we didn't spend much time in the guesthouse.

Everything was perfect. We stayed for 7 nights, and I could've stayed more. I really liked the authenticity of the neighbourhood. Nelly and her family are very hospitable and polite. I'll definitely stay here if I happen to visit again.

“Great cozy place !”
We had the private room and it was great ! The microwave and fridge were pretty useful and the beds were comfy. The view at the rooftop is nice and there’s a few cute cats. Nelly was very kind and flexible. We couldn’t have a better host !

“Warm and beautiful stay.”
Nelly is the perfect host. Her place is super clean, very well maintained and decorated. Good quality. Super well equipped with everything you need. The bathroom and kitchen felt private. Her staff is very accommodative and present Nelly is there to help you 24/7. She is the kindest , warmest person we've met. We spent an evening watching the sunset from her terrace , had a delicious dinner she cooked for us , sharing our memories! Very well located, few minutes from everywhere you wanna be. Public transport options are 5 mins away. We would definitely come back to stay with her again.

- We stayed 4 nights, the price was very affordable and so it was good value for money. - The staff are very friendly. The owner and her son speak very good English and were very helpful. - The room came with an equipped kitchenette, it had a microwave oven, refrigerator, plates, cups, utensils and hot water kettle. - The bed was comfortable. - WiFi was stable. - There is a smart TV with streaming services but Netflix and prime didn’t work for us.

There are people who travel to "consume experiences," and people who travel to experience the local experience. If you're looking to experience the local experience, Nelly is your place. Thanks, Nelly.
