I wish it were possible to award six stars, because Hakan definitely deserves it. There were so many SuperHost touches - from the handmade soaps and lavender that greeted me, to the delicious tea Hakan brewed to help us wake up in the mornings! The location is superb, just a 6 minute downhill walk from Beşiktaş ferry port, right opposite a taxi rank and easy walking distance to countless bars, cafes and chocolate shops. Hakan is not only a ready and knowledgeable source of conversation on everything from Anatolian history to contemporary film, but he is generous and helpful to a fault - assisting me with everything from phone coverage to recommending the best dessert and hammams in the city. A wonderful stay in every respect.
