Our stay at Fatma's has been full of surprises.
We first had the basement room which was not the best choice as it was humid, smelly, and full of flies.
Then, we decided to talk to Fatma and discovered how lucky we've been to meet such a wonderful person.
She has been very kind, apologized about the room and instantly moved us to a better room in the same house. In 15 minutes, everything has been fixed!
About the neighborhood, it was totally different from any touristic area, people are staring, but never offensive. We never felt unsecure.
We highly recommend this house (appart from the basement room), which is more adapted to a traveller than a tourist.
We spent really good times on the terrasse, chatting with people from all around the world.
Good memories, authentic experience, this place IS Istanbul, more than any posh place made for occidental people and too far from the reality.
Thank you Fatma and Hassan for welcoming us like your family.
