This is a cosy apartment perfect for one person or a couple. It is 5-10 mins from the Tunel (funicular) to Karikoy, Sishane Metro and the Main Street Istikal. It is a very quiet but safe area, next to a school. Hatice was a brilliant host who kept in contact via WhatsApp during the stay and made it all very easy. The apartment is very clean and the bed was super comfortable; the shower was hot and excellent pressure. I much preferred staying this side of town - it felt much safer as a woman travelling alone than the area around the Aya Sofya. Good places to eat (all top end but still reasonable) Eleos for fish; Ravuna for drinks and cheese platter; cooking Atatürk (Sultanhmet); Neolokal. For a truly special meal with outstanding views try Nicole. Thank you, Hatice for a great stay in Istanbul.
