We had a wonderful stay at Hatice's apartment and enjoyed great views of the Golden Horn day and night. The location of the apartment was ideal for exploring Istanbul with bus and metro very close which we used daily. Unfortunately Hatice had to be away when we visited but she provided perfect instructions along with the transfer to the apartment and was always quick in answering any questions I had. As mentioned by reviewers there are plenty of stairs to climb so be warned! Overall we had a great time.
