Handan is an excellent host. She was traveling in Italy while we were in Istanbul but responded extremely quickly to any questions I had and sent very detailed instructions on check in, location, directions via metro, taxi or private shuttle, etc. She also allowed us to check in early because of all the luggage we were hauling from the airport. The place is cute, small, and had everything we needed. The wifi doesn’t extend to the basement but it’s pretty fast upstairs. I slept extremely well, and the waterfall-style shower was nice after a long trip. Just a note that we had some minor troubles unlocking the front door despite turning the key the correct way; there was some slight pushing and pulling that did the trick. This is not a complaint, but just a tip for any future visitors who have trouble (maybe it’s just us). I would stay at this place again if I returned to Istanbul; its best quality is location - only minutes walking distance from arguably the best and densest collection of food and drink in the area. Thanks again Handan. You were great.
