Our overall experience in Hatice's home was fantastic. It was very spacious, had all the facilities you needed and was in a great location for restaurants / cafes / shops.
Hatice was very friendly and helpful and was always open for questions or help during our stay, it was very handy she worked below at the cute cafe.
My only negatives about this apartment are the stairs all the way up to the top floor, with no lift it was very rough carrying 23kg of luggage up the stairs (I am a small girl though) having said that Hatice insisted in helping me which was lovely.
Two other little things I wasn't happy with was the shower drain must have been blocked as after about 2 minutes in the shower you were standing in your own dirty water.
Also on our first day there when we got home in the night time, there was all laundry hung up in the lounge room that Hatice said the cleaner had come in to do... I felt very uncomfortable as my stuff was everywhere having only arrived the night before and all my money and items were around as I never thought someone would be coming into the apartment while we were out and about.
Other then those little things this is a great base that's clean and accessible while you're in Istanbul.
Thank you Hatice
