Words alone cannot express how wonderful and peaceful our stay was at one of Hatice's apartment. My boyfriend and I stayed at the Sapphire apartment on the top floor of a six story apartment building. We had THE BEST view of Istanbul. The apartment has windows that wraps around the entire floor with plenty of natural light and pleasant breeze. There's a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom and even a washing machine for laundry. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable. Hatice welcomed us with open arms and a delightful afternoon snacks consisting of Turkish sweets and Chai tea. She provided us with lots of useful tips and information. She even suggested a great Hamam (Turkish bath) to go to which my boyfriend and I went twice =)
There's free Wi-Fi in the apartment which we put into good use especially when planning our day.
Istanbul is a special place and I look forward to coming back. Hatice's hospitality and her wonderful apartment made our experience in Istanbul a pleasant and memorable one. Thank you very much.
