Hikmet was an amazing host and his apartment was great. We were a family of 5 adults, staying at this apartment for 4 nights and we had a great time. The location of the apartment can just not be better. It is in the heart of the beautiful Sultanahmet area and all of the tourist attractions are walking distance. Since we were there in peak winter, this helped us immensely since we could move around even in the thick of a snow storm. The apartment itself was very spacious, clean and well done up. All 5 of us were staying very comfortably and the heating was great as well. My only slight disappointment was that it was short on supplies. Since we were a family of 5 on a very long vacation, we wanted to occasionally cook but the house didn't even have salt sugar and the likes. It wasn't a very big hurdle since supplies were easily and cheaply available. As a host, Hikmet went over and above and made sure we had all the help and information we could possibly want and need. His communication with me prior to the trip itself was flawless and so so prompt, I would forget that we live on two different continents with a 7 hour time difference. Our flight into Istanbul was considerably delayed resulting in us reaching at midnight but he was patiently waiting for us. He helped us with all our luggage and then took us to a store to buy basic breakfast supplies and also took us to a restaurant after. This was past midnight! He was always available since his office is just outside the apartment. He also arranged a Turkish hammam for us and personally escorted us there. I have rarely met someone so dedicated to making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I would very much recommend Hikmet and his apartment!
