Hikmet was a wonderful host. From the moment we arrived we immediately felt welcome in Istanbul. Even though it was the middle of the Ramadan, he treated us with water and fresh cherries.
Hikmet arranged a safe parking spot for our two motorcycles, right across his office.
The apartment is located in the Old City, within walking distance from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. Farther attractions can be reached with taxi or tram, which is 5 min walking.
