Not only was the apartment wonderful, but so was our host, Hatice. She is very accommodating and will help you with whatever comes up. The apartment is in a fantastic location: a 5 minutes walk to the main street in Taksim, but still quiet and peaceful. The view is top notch and better than the one you will see from the Galata Tower. Also, the apartment was very clean, modern, and spacious. If we come back to Istanbul we will without a doubt contact Hatice again about staying in this beautiful apartment.
