The flat is very spacious (2 double bedrooms and a big cosy lounge), very clean, very warm in winter, and having a real Turkish character. The private roof terrace is just amazing - you can see an incredible panorama of the city from it, including Galata Bridge, Galata Tower and Suleymaniye Mosque. We had a very calm sleep, could hear seagulls from our bedroom. The host Hamza is very friendly and helpful, he is very caring and flexible to accommodate the guests’ needs. The area is residential but safe, it is about 20-30 minutes walk from the main tourist areas of Eminonu and Sultanahmet. I highly recommend Hamza’s flat to anyone who wants to feel and experience real Istanbul.
