Everything was even better than described - especially the fabulous view from all the windows in the apartment. You can even see water-planes land on the Bosporus and the sunset is breathtaking. The place is wonderfully situated, but requires good shoes, because the neighborhood is hilly and the walkup has a steep stairway. Once you are all the way up it feels like a magical bird's nest. I want to especially mention that Hatice is a wonderful and fun host and a skilled communicator. She made everything really easy for me and my family, even though we had some last minute changes. Thank you so much, Hatice, for an extraordinary and very memorable Istanbul-experience!
