My gf and I couldn't be more impressed by Hikmet! He organized our transfer both to and from the airport. He gave us fresh fruit and bottled water upon arrival and made us a fresh Turkish breakfast one morning that was delicious. We enjoyed tea and shisha with him on the beautiful balcony more than once as well as his great stories and friendly personality.

Hikmet takes being a quality host very serious and it was evident everyday. He provided cleaning of the apartment during our stay and was available immediately if we had a question or concern. The apartment was conveniently located to major tourist sites (Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sohpia et.c) and it was very clean and looked just as it did in the pictures.

I can't say enough good things about him as a host and a person and hope anyone reading this decides to book and experiences the same sort of treatment. Just be prepared to hear some of his favorite english sayings more than once.... "oolala" & "Welcome to turkey, welcome to Istanbul".

Thanks again Hikmet for making our trip so memorable and we certainly look forward to staying with you again in the future and recommending you to our friends in the USA.
