Hatice's apartment has an amazing view of the Bosphorus with all the ships travelling to and from the Black Sea. It is perfectly located with a quick trip on the tram outside to the cultural sites. It is also a 15 min walk along the Dolmabahce to the restaurants and cafes. If you don't have a lot of time we recommend using a guide to see the cultural sites. We loved our visit to Istanbul and staying at this amazing apartment made it even more enjoyable.
