We moved to the Legend from another 'hotel' (more like a nightmare) not far away. Our first encounter was with Hakan whose gentle manner and quiet efficiency, as well as his assistance and suggestions made for a very comfortable stay in Istanbul.

With different groups I stayed there for a week in May in 2005, and... more
