You will feel welcome and like home and Hikmet will make sure you have all you need for your stay and to be around Istanbul.
Centrally located, you can go walking mostly to all of the old Istanbul area. I even went walking to Galata tower and it was 1 hr but you won’t even feel it bc you’ll stop at the Bazzar, bridge, mosques…is pure joy.
I’ll keep the best memories of my first time in this amazing city because of the great experience in Hikmet’s place with all kind of international people!
Be aware that you have the mosque next to you so they sing through the day, first starting at 4:45am, is part of the experience.
