We loved the place and the host. Hikmet was very thoughtful and helpful. The communication with the host was fantastic, he can speak very good English and a little bit of Russian. The apartment was nice and clean. Location is near the Blue Mosque but bit difficult to find. Make sure to contact the host before coming, he will welcome you on the street. The host offered us Turkish breakfast on the first morning. The street is a bit chaotic and noisy in the early morning. Other than that, everything was good.
