Hatice's apartment is very central, but still in a quiet little neighborhood. We were very happy we chose to stay in Beyoglu since there were so many amazing restaurants and shops nearby. Since the apartment is centrally located, it is small -- like any downtown apartment in any city. :) But if you are looking for a good value apartment close to the action, Hatice's spot is for you! It's also great that her bakery is just below the apartment, so if you have questions about anything or simply want a tasty treat, she's right there to ask!
