My family and I (a group of 5) stayed in Doruk's apartment for a week in November, and could not be happier with our choice. The apartment was spacious, well-appointed, and perfectly situated steps from the Galata Tower. The best part about it was our host: Doruk was incredibly helpful from the moment we booked the apartment until the last day of our stay. He arranged for private transfers to/from the airport, hooked us up with local antique dealers, and - believe it or not - canvassed the neighborhood on a motorcycle looking for three members of our party who got lost driving around Beyoğlu.

They wouldn't do that even at the Four Seasons.
