Hatice is definitely a super hostess! You can tell she loves doing this. This little apartment was a perfect spot from which to explore Istanbul. It is a small apartment... as in bathroom is smaller than an airplane one, and the bed takes up the entire bedroom. If you want more space, Hatice has larger apartments upstairs. We had too much luggage and didn't want to do the stairs, so this worked for us, being on the first floor. We didn't need much room, since we spent our time out exploring the city. Hatice's apartments are well situated, walking distance to a supermarket, restaurants, to Istiklal Street, Galata Tower, and close to public transportation so it's easy to get anywhere. Your legs will get a workout though; when you step out the door, everything is up or down a steep hill.
