Hikmet was a fantastic host - he was there to greet us and show us around the whole flat, and also offered us the opportunity to book in sightseeing tours. The flat was brilliantly located, perfectly in walking distance from all the main attractions and surrounded by plenty of great restaurants and charming shops.

Hikmet also offered us a delicious and authentic Turkish breakfast the day after we arrived, and stopped by to check in on everything every day which was really helpful. He even woke up at 4am to say bye to us, and helped book our transfers both two and from the airport which saved us a lot of hassle! I would highly recommend this flat as a location for anyone wanting to experience the culture of Istanbul and if I go back, I will definitely stay here again!
