Hikmet is an exceptional host. He responded immediately to our pre-arrival questions and requests. He arranged all our transfers from and to the new Istanbul airport and met us upon arrival at his apartments. His building has several floors with a variety of studios and apartments. The location is magnificent and walkable to anywhere in the city. Hikmet is expanding and renovating some of the upper floor apartments and breakfast areas which will have fabulous views of the city and mosque across the street. He was very kind and helpful. We appreciated very much letting us select the floor and room we were to stay in during our visit. The rooms were very clean, good hot water showers and the beds extremely comfortable. All in all a great stay. Definitely recommend Hikmet’s place.
