Hikmet was very friendly and responsive whenever we had questions. The apartment was as described and in a perfect location being a walking distance near all the main attractions we wanted to visit. The only complaint would be that there is no elevator in the building and the apartment was on the third floor (ground floor=first floor). Also please be aware that taxi drivers avoid the area due to the terrible traffic so you might have to walk a few streets down to find a taxi (use the biTaxi app). Overall I would recommend Hikmet’s place for a short stay in Istanbul.
