Our stay at Hatice's apartment was so comfortable, it felt like home. Hatice and her partner are so lovely and friendly, and were always so quick to respond to any of our questions. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the lounge room in particular is a really relaxing space for hanging out, with lots of great books. The apartment is in an awesome location, with so many great cafes, bars, and eateries just minutes walk away. Also while just a ten minute walk to Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue, the apartment is in a much more relaxed and charming neighbourhood where everyone is so welcoming. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were really sad to leave.
