Dodo is a true superhost. He personally met us when we arrived, and then walked us around the neighborhood giving great recommendations for places to eat and showed us a wonderful wine bar on a side street from Gallata Tower that we wouldn't have found on our own. During our stay we would ask him questions (the best kabob restaurant, best fish restaurant, etc.) and he would respond prompty with excellent places. The apartment is lovely and we couldn't have stayed in a better more central location - the area is trendy, walkable and safe. It is easy to get over to Old Town for the touristy sites of Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a fabulous holiday in Istanbul. Thank you, Dodo!!
