This is a great apartment and Hatice is a great host. The apartment was large enough for me, my wife and our twelve year old son. The view from the living room is wonderful. The double glazed windows insulated the apartment from any noise outside, so we were able to sleep well at night and relax in the apartment during the day when we weren't out and about. The apartment had everything we needed for our nine day stay. The neighbourhood is low key, but a fairly short walk from busy Istaklal Street and transportation to Istanbul's famous sights. Hatice is a very helpful and cheerful host and her cafe at the bottom of the building is a nice place to have a light meal and / or a cup of something. We'd stay in the Diamond again.
