Hikmet is such a wonderful host. Very friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful. He helped arrange for PCR test (very reasonably priced) which we needed going back home. He also dropped us off the shuttle bus station to the airport. The building is not so easy to find but Hikmet met us and took us to the apartment. Excellent communication and quick reply. The area is quite busy during the day as there are lots of shops nearby but it is quiet at night. The apart is spacious and clean. Just be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs as there’s no elevator. It is 6 minutes walk to the tram and 17 minutes walk to the nearest metro station. Very close to the Hagia Sophia and the grand bazaar. There’s also good fish restaurant nearby (Fish House).
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Hikmet’s place.
