We really enjoyed staying at Fatmas and Hasan's place! The hospitality was truly amazing. We were received very warmly with a real Turkish coffee and the next day we had nice breakfast in a small cafe just around the corner. As it was our first day in Istanbul Hasan made a little tour to Gran Bazaar with us and showed the most beautiful "Aladin" lamp shop!! :-)
The place is located in an eclectic and vivid area with a lot of cool bars, restaurants and shops which to discover. All central places are easy accessible by tram and bus. We definitely recommend Fatma's place and truly suggest to go to eat kebab to "Karadenis"!
