Hatice is an incredible host— accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. She kindly helped us arrange our transport from the airport and check-in couldn’t have been easier. The apartment has a great view and is a good value for the money, but it may present accessibility issues for certain guests due to the steep hill that leads from the apartment to the main road nearby (typical for Istanbul, but may be difficult for older travelers—I traveled with my mother and she had a hard time navigating the commute to the apartment to and from major attractions). The apartment is close to some great cafes, etc. but is a on a very quiet street that might feel remote to solo or female travelers at night. We are grateful to Hatice for the warm welcome and feel this is a great option provided guests have the full picture.
