Hakan is a great hoster. The apartment was even better than the pictures. Everything is available in this apartment, such as: microwave, central heating, condition, hear dryer, electric iron, else... The apartment is very close to the bus station (1 minute walking, Tepebaşi Station), and this station is so close to Taksim Tunel "Taksim Square, Taksim Meydanı" & Eminonu area.The place is very secure (there are security cameras in both side of the building outside. Also, one camera in the entrance of building inside) clean, and near to many markets and restaurants. Hakan & his wife are very nice and lovely; they always fulfill what we need. Actually, when we planned to extend our staying in Istanbul, we decided to stay at one of his apartments which make you feel like you are in your home.
