We enjoyed our stay in Hatice's apartment a lot. First of all, it is very close to the Istiklal street with its shops, cafes and restaurants, but at the same time the neighbourhood is very quiet.
The apartment has everything needed for a stay, it was clean and nicely decorated. It also has a great view over the Golden Horn. Hatice was very responsive and provided us with some tips on Istanbul.
One thing worth mentioning - the air conditioner is located in a bit of unfortunate place, but since the apartment has so many windows and Istanbul is windy in general it wasn't really a problem during our stay.
