We stayed in Hatice’s 2 bedroom apartment for a three night stay at the beginning of November 2014. We were two couples and from the word « go », Hatice was an absolute pleasure to deal with….prompt in her replies, helpful, friendly and it was truly « service with a smile » from start to finish!
The apartment is brilliantly located right next to the beautiful Pera Hotel, central, quiet and with a stunning view over the Bospherous. It is up on the 4th floor, simply decorated with a small, clean bathroom, kitchen, plenty of hanging space in the two bedrooms and a wonderful, comfortable, light and sunny sitting room with double windows and a hypnotic view. The beds are firm and lovely and we slept like rocks!
Hatice’s cafe around the corner is cosy and offers all types of simple, delicious and really reasonably priced meals. Breakfasts were a great way to start the day here!
Hatice is « the jewel of Istanbul »! Absolutely nothing was too much to ask and she goes beyond the call of service to suggest places to eat, where to have a real Hammam, order airport transfers, call a taxi or have a chat.
We would all thoroughly recommend Hatice’s apartments and selfishly, it’s hard not to keep this wonderful place a guarded secret so we can go back any time!
Do yourself a favor and check this place out…….don’t hesitate!
Thanks Hatice for helping to make our Istanbul visit truly extra special….we’ll all be back!
