Hikmet was a great host all around. Responded promptly to all our questions and was very accommodating even with things he didn't have to do. The room was as shown in the pictures, clean and well equipped and the wifi worked very good. The shared balcony was a refreshing sight to open the day with a lovely prepared breakfast. The area was not as central as we initially thought, but a few more minutes of walking don't hurt anyone. It's about 5 minutes walk to the nearest trem station. Istanbul is great and we can definitely recommend Hikmet's apartment and attitude.
