Hikmet was an amazing host, he is always around whenever you need him, the apartment is on the old Istanbul area, easy walking distance at anytime, I went with two kids and walking every single day including to the other side of the river to the Galata tower area, walking at night to see the Hagia Sophia and back midnight, we went driving from Ankara and Hikmet organized the parking as the apartment area is very difficult, everything is very simple with him, inside the apartment I was surprise about the cleaning, it was spotless, I was a little afraid as reading previous reviews about the smell and others issues but everything was more than good, you'll see and live Istanbul in a very big apartment, for 4 people is more than perfect and comfortable, towels and bed sheets were very clean. Highly recommend Hikmet Place.
