Hatice's place is lovely. You get an amazing view of the Golden Horn from the living room window, there's beautiful high ceilings and marble/woodwork. She went out of her way to provide comfortable amenities like wool blankets, good heating, good lighting, etc. Hatice was also a highly responsive host and gracefully took care of any questions within an hour. The location is close to the Sishane metro, giving easy access to the whole city. I felt right at home and would definitely recommend her place. I hope I can stay again the next time I'm in Istanbul!
