Fatma and her family are just great! Even before booking they were answering our questions very kindly and with patience. Once we arrived there we had a warm welcome. Nothing was missing and the apartment looks exactly as in the pictures. One time we had an issue with our heating and Fatma's husband arrived almost immediately and fixed the problem. In several occasions Fatma invited us for dinner to meet her and other people and she and her family made us feel always very welcomed.

The neighborhood is just amazing and very authentic. According to our experience it is not a risky place at all. However, people visiting that neighborhood should be culturally sensitive and responsible.

We are looking forward to book her place again for our next trip to Istanbul!
