What an amazing apartment! This was my home for two weeks in Istanbul, and I could not have wished for a nicer place to stay: super-comfortable with everything you could need, and views over the Golden Horn that you can never get tired of. Its location is great, in a relatively quiet part of Pera but just a few minutes' walk from Istiklal, Galata and some of the city's best food. On top of which Hatice is the perfect host, happy to let you get on with things but always available when help is needed. And her Turkish coffee, at Cafe La Perla around the corner, is in my top 3 in Istanbul :)

Teşekkürler Hatice! I'll be back, and I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in Istanbul. Thanks for your warm hospitality.
