What a great place to stay in Istanbul!! Hatice was a superb host and the hospitatility she extended towards us at her Cafe was second to none. The apartment was in excellent condition and could not have been more conveniently located to Istanbul's main sights in the Beyoglu district. Istiklal Cadessi is a 5 min walk away and if you want you can take the ferry from Kasimpasa to Eminonu. Great place for kids in a separate bedroom. Apartment has all the amenities and was very quiet. Loved the place and would happily return.
