It's easy to be a great host when there are no set-backs, it is much harder to be a great host when something goes wrong. Hakan, showed that he can be a great host even when things are difficult.
During my stay Hakan was taking care of a beautiful long haired cat, an old lady, that he took over from friends. She was very shy and didn't really interact much. During the first night however, she woke me up just before dawn. Once she realised that I was in the room, she disappeared again, and I didn't really mind. When I told the story in the morning Hakan apologised, she hadn't done this before, and Hakan promised to take her into his room for the night. The next nights went by without further events. If you have allergies, ask Hakan, because it isn't sure she will stay living with him.
Besides this everything was perfect, Hakan's flat is well located, very close to a metro stop (Google maps would have you walk around a block, but you don't need to as there is a stairway shortcut). This was my 2nd time at Hakan's place, and I will be back for sure.
