Hikmet was one of the most welcoming hosts I've had on airbnb. He arranged for airport transit which made my arrival easy, met me with fresh fruit, and immediately invited up to the balcony for a cup of tea while the sun was setting over a gorgeous view of Istanbul and the 15th Century Mosque next door. The room itself was clean and serviceable, but it was Hikmet's enthusiasm and personal touch that made this space special. The location was also exceptional - very easy to walk to the major sites.
