Hatice's apartment was beautiful and just as advertised. Hatice, herself, was also on vacation, but her lovely housekeeper met us at the apartment. Hatice was available by cell and email, if we needed her. Her lovely housekeeper showed us around the neighborhood, even pointing out tram and metro stops.

Hatice was also lovely enough to leave many brochures and maps of Istanbul, as well as a tram card, which all proved very useful. Whenever I get to come back to Istanbul, I would stay at one of Hatice's apartments again in a heartbeat. It was a beautiful place, with amazing views, in a great part of the city. Thank you Hatice!
