We would recommend this place to everyone! Fener is the best part of Istanbul where you can stay,in our opinion. It is a chance to see authentic streets and to really experience how locals live..not so many tourists around at this part,but we liked it 😀 Even though Mustafa doesn't speak English ,we managed to understand each other and he was reachable at any time. And the view from a balcony is amazing!! We strongly recommend one special cafe in this part of city,it's 3mins walk from this appartment called 'Naftalin', where you can enjoy breakfast and special mardini coffee which you can find only at this cafe ,in a company of cute cats all around you. 😀
