The apartment is in a terrific location. It is walking distance from all the attractions in the old city including Topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia, Hippodrome, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, the Spice Bazaar and more. We walked almost everywhere and needed almost no other forms of transportation. Hikmet is incredibly welcoming and helped out with all of our requests including arranging tours, transfers to/from the airport and suggesting good local restaurants. Furthermore, as we were three ladies traveling (and clearly tourists), he called up cabs for us and ensured that we would not be cheated out of money or time with our cab drivers. He was also kind enough to host a traditional Turkish breakfast for us up on one of his terraced apartments and invited us for tea; both the food and the view were wonderful. Hikmet is a most gracious host, we had a very lovely stay at the apartment and would highly recommend booking a stay at one of his apartments. We will most certainly be back!
