Hikmet met us after we were dropped off near his apartment. After he showed us the apartment and gave us a map, he took us out to show us the closest supermarket and drug store. He also brought us fruits.
The apartment is as described, clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable and shower was hot.
Hitmet provided us with a delicious breakfast one morning.
The area is convenient to walk to major tourist sights. The neighborhood is a shoes factories street, lots of activities going on. Mostly quiet at night.
Only one con, Hitmet forgot to order a ride for us, so we waited at the airport for 90 minutes before we were picked up. Other than that Hitmet was very responsive to our requests.
