We loved living in the Fatih area, full of cafes and interesting little streets that are fun to explore and highly recommended. The quaint house is up a big long hill which was tiring to climb for an older member of our group. The inside stairs are very steep. However the house is very charming and the area was friendly and safe. It was Ramadan and fun to live in the area watching the hustle and bustle of shoppers rushing home for Iftar. Kids playing in the street. Very friendly and safe. Good restaurants were close by and the area delightful.Public transportation easy and clean. Taxi drivers are horrible!
