We can't say enough great things about Hattice and her gorgeous apartment! The view was stunning, the apartment was spotless and cozy, and it was nice to be tucked away in a residential neighborhood a stone's throw from all the action. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from the apartment windows and listening to the call to prayer as it echoed across the city. Since the apartment has two bedrooms, it was more than enough space for the two of us. Her attention to detail included countless little touches like leaving us Turkish pastries, Turkish delight, fluffy towels, and a fresh bar of natural soap. We feel very fortunate to have stayed in this special place during our stay in Istanbul; our only regret is that we did not stay here for our entire trip! In addition to the lovely apartment itself, Hattice herself was an incredibly gracious and attentive host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, including giving us restaurant recommendations, calling to make sure we were able to get into the apartment and that everything was in order, arranging our cab to the airport, and accommodating our early arrival. We would recommend this apartment anyone traveling to Istanbul.
