We stayed at Doruk's Urban Bridge flat in Galata and to put it in one sentence: what an experience. The Flat's location is spot on. it is on a street full of hip cafes, a few small art shops and a grocery. the building on the street are beautiful to look at. 2 minutes walking to Galata tower square with all the beautiful cafes 2 minutes walking to the metro and the Famous old Subway(2nd oldest in the world) and to Beyoglu where all the night life restaurants and shopping is. basically in our 3 day stay we did not need any kind of transportation. As for the flat, we were so impressed with the interior design that at a point we did not feel like leaving but enjoying spending time in it. the bridge inside the flat is very cool and the bar with the lower floor and the big wood/glass table in the kitchen were fantastic. As for Doruk, i would greatly thank him for arranging our pickups, and reservations to restaurants when needed. he was always available for us. Two highlights of the trip which were advised and arranged by Doruk; 1- the luxury yacht trip on the Bosporus which was for a very reasonable price. 2- the Turkish bath sessions at Kilic Ali Pasa Hamami (newly renovated historical Turkish bath built by Sinan the famous Ottoman Architect from 16th century). Both of these are a Defo. Staying at Doruk's place was a great experience which made our whole trip smoother. We started planning for our next trip as soon as we were back.
