Amazing apartment! Hatice's place exceeded my high expectations. Check-in was a breeze and her inclusion of local tips and small touches like power adapters were nice and thoughtful touches. Everything about the place was amazing. You don't want for anything...water delivery to your front step, a washing machine right in the flat, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, comfortable bed, lots of extra sheets, towels and bathmats, excellent workspace in the living room with stunning water views in the background and the sunset on display every evening. Everything is walk-able from this apartment...you're close to so many things, including the famous Istiklal Street and lots of rooftop bars...but I found myself enjoying the sunset right from the privacy of my own living room. You really can't beat it! Lots to do, great places to eat, nightlife, and a super close metro stop. Neighbors are nice and friendly and there are shops literally just outside that are open well past midnight if you need something. This place really has it all! Thank you Hatice for all your attention to detail, your incredible accommodation, and most importantly your hospitality and help. Next time I'm in Istanbul I know where I'm staying!
