Hikmet's apartment was perfectly located and a 5 minute walk from all the main istanbul attractions, and in a very safe area. The place was perfect for our needs - clean, bright, and ample space. On our first morning Hikmet made us a lovely Turkish breakfast up on the terrace overlooking the water. He was also very accommodating when our flight was late and we got stuck in traffic and therefore were considerably late meeting him for the keys. Overall would definitely recommend this apartment for those visiting istanbul
