THE VIEW! It is awesome, the best view on Golden Horn ever! Hatice's place is very cosy and comfortable. The apartement is equipped with everything you need, you can cook for yourself or have a breakfest/lunch/dinner in Hatice's cafe downstairs. The place itself is in neighborhood with no bars and discos next door, but Galata and Istiklyal are in 7-10 mins on foot. Metro is in 5 mins on foot.
You just need to be prepared for narrow stairs and no elevator in the building (in case if your luggage weights more then you)
