There is an abundance of reviews about Hatice's properties and I'm happy to add my voice to the choir of positive feedback. We stayed on the second floor of the building and so had few stairs but not the kinds of views you can get from higher up (we saw the inside of the top floor flat and the view was phenomenal). Still, the flat was impeccably clean, very comfortable, and quite spacious for two people. In addition, as mentioned, Hatice checks in to make sure everything is OK, and responds to messages quickly even though she is a busy woman.

The location of the building is just a short walk to the main action of Beyoglu and has the advantage of being in a quiet and basically non-touristic neighborhood, complete with communal cats (and one very friendly dog). Special shout-out to the cleaning lady (I'm afraid we didn't catch her name). Though she doesn't speak any English and neither of us speak any Turkish, we had many warm exchanges with her- she made us tea when we arrived, greeted us when we passed her on the street, and helped us out when we stupidly locked ourselves out of the building (Hatice too was great in this situation).

I have absolutely no reservations in recommending this airbnb and Hatice as a host.
