Hello future travellers,
I stayed in Fatma and Hasan s place in March. There are many different apartments inside of the building they host. I stayed in the basement, although next time I would prefer some other apartment with more light. This was the only thing that bothered me. :) Location of the building is just perfect. You have everything you need like farmacy, hairdresser, bakery, supermarket, turkcell in 100m. Just 5 min above is the Istiklal street. 10 min taksim square. Be aware that this is Tarlabaşı neighborhood but even though it does not look safe there is police station few meters above and i never had any issues. Fatma and Hasan are very great hosts and will help you with everything you need. Apartment is very authentic with many beautiful details. In the same buiding where you will be staying you have cute terrace and you can also do your laundry here.
