The stay at Hatice's place was perfect, it was clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. It is in the heart of Istanbul and in a very cool neighbourhood (a very very good restaurant: meze by lemon tree is 2 minute walk and also many other bars and restaurants are close. For example the pera palace hotel where Agatha Christie wrote her novels- we recommend an aperatif on the terrace and have a look inside- it is as though you find yourself in a different time, in the beginning of the last century). The view from the apartment over the golden horn is amazing and you can also see the beautiful sunset from the apartment. Hatice's cafe, the perla cafe, we recommend to have something to eat or enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or later afternoon. In the apartment you can find everything you need and Hatice left us even some pastries for breakfast in the apartment because we arrived late in the evening. We would recommend to let Hatice organize the pick up from the airport as our taxi driver did not find the street and had to call Hatice several times late in the evening. Hatice is very welcoming and friendly and we are very happy to have stayed in her apartment and next time we come to Istanbul we will try again to book the apartment!
