Hatice made us feel very welcome from the moment we met her in her wonderful cafe. The apartment we stayed in was on the 3rd floor with fantastic views looking down onto the Golden Horn and Mosques below (fantastic day and night). The location is great just a few minutes walk to the main shopping street with its many shops, bars, restaurants and street entertainment and a 5 minute walk to the ferry at the bottom of the hill (goes to Eminonu, Kadikoy, Eyup and Uskadar on the Asian side). The flat itself was very comfortable. We were 3 people (a couple and another person), though it would still be comfortable for 4 people. All modern appliances were provided including a water cooler, which was useful. All in all we would highly recommend Hatice's property and will definitely be staying there when we next return to Istanbul
