Hatice was an excelent host, with a great apartment in a perfect location,not to mention the amazing view from inside the Saffire. Who would want to stay at a hotel when you have so much more here.Hatice was at the other end of the door bell ring when we arrived after 10 hours from Canada, and she was as glad to see us as if we were her own children returning home from univercity in a far off land. Hatice showed us all we needed to know about this wonderful, comfortable , very clean and well equipped apartment.She gave us a few good tips about the local area, and we had a hell of a laugh with her as well, about the translation of Turkish to English!!! ha ha ha.Hatice is the perfect visitors host with great apartments to rent in the best location of one of the most amazing cities in the world everybody should visit at least once. Then you will find out you have to come back to Istanbul. We will and we will stay with Hatice for sure. Thank you so much for the warm welcome to Istanbul ,Hatice. We knew it would be good and you made it even better.Tey shk yer dam!!!!
