Many people have asked us "Where do you stay on these trips?" This time we'll share them with you! We can assure you that it's not the Hilton. They tend to be functional. They provide a safe and relatively clean place to lay our heads for a few nights while staying within our limited budget. The location of this place in Istanbul couldn't be beat. It was clean, but a bit noisy as our room was right at the top of the stairs below the reception area. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.
