Hatice's flat was a wonderful place to stay. The view to the Golden Horn was magical. We had everything we needed for our stay, and we were just a few minutes away from one of the most interesting areas in Istanbul. It was easy to take the F1 funicular line, and then the T1 tram line to get everywhere else.

Hatice's café is around the corner, and the food is delicious. We found a nearby mini-market that sold wine, and another small grocery store for snacks.

Hatice also made a special effort to help with delayed baggage and private transport to the airport.
