This is a very nice and authentic place to stay right in the heart of Istanbul! The apartment is great, very stylish and cozy. It has a very comfortable lounge zone near the windows, from where you can observe a busy street. We fell in love with this place! The bed is big and comfortable with a warm blanket, which is especially important in winter. It was a bit cold, however the heater easily coped with this problem. The building is historic with beautiful ceilings and a wooden spiral staircase, which added some romance;) the location of the house is great - Istiklal, Taksim square and Galata tower are within walking distance. You can easily get to Faith and Kadikoy by public transport. Hatice is a very nice lady, who did everything possible to make our stay comfortable! When we come to Istanbul again, we will surely stay here!
