Fatma's flat has a good potential, it is located very close to Istiklal Caddesi and Taksim square and you can easily reach all other interesting spot in Istanbul. The neighborhood is decadent, but we found it safe. We think, however, that the overall service need to be improved. Ok, the price was good, but it has to be considered that the flat is on the fifth floor without elevator (as reported in the description), the stairs status is not the newest you have ever met (i.e. broken window and walls), the area is a bit decadent, so not a five star service as you can imagine. What we think should be improved in overall flat cleaning: ok, we accept the shower has curtains and no tray, when you have a shower all the bathroom will be cleaned, but, despite you are not offering a 5 star service hotel, if the curtains are moldy and dirty they can be channged with new ones (not expensive at all). The window curtains were probably born as white and the sofa cover as beige , when they become gray, they must be washed.
Another aspect to be improved, in our opinion, is the check-in and overall hospitality: at the check-in we found a very kind man who unfortunately was not speaking english , he shown us the flat, but we didn't receive or find in the flat any additional information about the public transports, the neighborhood and the city.
We hope these will be taken as suggestion for improvement. We loved Istanbul so bad, as everybody should!
