We stayed in Istanbul in winter, during the first week of February. The apartment was comfortable, clean and cozy. The neighbourhood is quiet and the location is very good, just a few minutes away from the south part of Istiklal. It is close to public transport but most of the time we just easily walked to where we wanted to visit.

Hatice was a great host. We were greeted with tea and loukoum. She gave us an overview of the area and a few suggestions for restaurants and places to discover. She graciously answered questions we had about the city.

We would definitely stay again at this apartment and I will recommend it to anyone going to Istanbul.
