Hakan's apartment was a great base for my week of tourism in Istanbul. The room/apartment was as pictured and comfortable and clean, and in a good location for my exploring (proximity to Kabatas station and Beskitas ferries). Hakan was very flexible when it came to my checkin and checkout and if ever I had a question, he dropped everything to answer it as well as he could. He was a great host and a good guide. He even provided me with a good Istanbul breakfast my first morning at his flat. Although I spent full days out of the apartment, sometimes returning late in the evening, I'm glad I was able to take some time for a few good chats with him. A solo female traveller, I felt comfortable. Recommended!
