Fatma's place is furnished in a lovely vintage style, with loads of lovely touches. It is only a few steps away from the buzzing nightlife of Beyoglu, but still quiet and private at night. Fatma welcomed us and chatted a lot with our Turkish friend, she was warm and friendly. She also gave us some tips (through her son) for enjoying Istanbul as much as we could! Also, the 5 flights of stairs to reach the apartment helped us feel less guilty about all the delicious food we were eating during the day, so definitely a plus for us- but keep in mind if you have trouble with stairs! recommended, very nice location.
