Perfect location just a few minutes from the tram and major attractions. Located in a lively area but at night it is nice and quiet which allows for a good nights sleep. Hikmet is absolutely wonderful. He is always available willing to assist however needed. I will definitely recommend this place and Hikmet as a host to anyone coming to Istanbul. Hikmet also helped arrange for transport from the Airport, and even when I was delayed at the airport by more than an hour, the driver was patiently waiting and even stopped to get me water and a snack. The place was clean and comfortable, and as a solo female traveller I felt very safe not just in the apartment but in the area as well.
