First of all, everything you see in the reviews is accurate. The Place is a very comfortable apartment with chic furnishings. It feels like a home away from home. Dodo had us stocked with all the necessary items that we didn't need to run out to a grocery store for (Water, coffee, shampoo/soap etc.). We had rented both Urban Blue and Urban Bridge units for three families (6 people) and there was plenty of room for everyone. All the bathrooms and showers were clean and hot water pressure was great!
The Location: Located in a hip part of Istanbul right by Galata Tower area. You can walk two minutes up the street to easily access the Metro/Tram System/Tunnel for easy access around the city. My parents both had knee problems and I was nervous that they might not be able to walk to the public transportation easily, but that was not the case at all. We had many options to take. We could just walk two minutes to Sishane metro station, or we could take the Tunnel to use the tram to get to Karakoy station. There's also plenty to do right on Istiklal. You have the feeling of being close to the middle of it all, but can retreat back to the quiet and comfort of the apartment.
I do want to really appreciate Dodo's effort and great communication. He helped me several months in advance to answer all of my questions and he arranged the transportation from the airport. He was very honest and all of his information was accurate! Dodo provided a top notch level of service to our trip, he truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and get settled in to the apartment. For our specific trip we had two groups arriving from different countries and Dodo was able to help plan shuttles to and from the airport for all parties. He checked one group in few hours earlier that the check-in time and gave them all the instruction to get them settled. He also gave us few booklets including really good info about the neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and hope we can go back in the future!
