This sparkling clean centrally located apartment is highly recommended. The apartment is on a lower level—it appears to be in the basement but because of the hilly location, you still get to have windows. You enter the living room with kitchen in front, bathroom to the left, and one bedroom further to the left; smaller sitting area, and the other bedroom are on your right. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, a stove, other appliances, and pots and pans. There is a washer in the entry living room, but we did not use it as we were there for a very short time. The heating worked well and whereas it rained and it was cold outside, we were very comfortable inside. Hikmet is an excellent host! We reached Istanbul around 10 pm. Hikmet was there to check us in past 11 pm. The apartment is in the old town and you can easily walk to major tourist attractions.
