Hatices apartment is an ideal spot to explore Istanbul, it's a short walk from the main attractions of the Golden Horn. The view is spectacular especially if you arrive at night like I did. Hatice is a great host organised taxis to and from the airport and arranged for someone to meet me after my flight was delayed. The next day she met me and showed me the way to all the main attractions and helpfully gave me the use of an Istanbul card which helped me get around on ferries and other public transport. The apartment is well equipped and lacking nothing. Would recommend as a stopping off point in this vibrant city.
