Hikmet was a wonderful host. Very friendly and welcoming. The apartment was centrally located and that made it easy to get to all the major sights at a short distance walk. The apartment was very tidy (housekeeping every day) and comfortably accommodated the 4 of us. The first morning we joined Hikmet for a wonderful breakfast at his roof top terrace. If I ever go to Istanbul again, I would be glad to stay with Hikmet again.
