We had a lovely stay at Handan’s place last week.
Her place was clean, convenient and close to Taksim square, and because it’s close to the square, it can be a little noisy at night. But we were so tired from walking, we actually slept through it. You only hear it when you get up to go to the bathroom at night.
We had the amazing Turkish breakfast at Van Kahvalti Evi, recommended by Handan, thank you for that Handan.
The people of Istanbul were so nice to us wherever we went, we shall miss the great hospitality.
