Dogan’s apartment is situated in one of my favourite areas of Istanbul (Balat); it’s beautiful, charming, and significantly quieter and less touristy compared to Karaköy. The apartment itself is the perfect size for two people and is equipped with everything you’ll need for your visit! Dogan and Burcu were amazing to us during our stay. We texted Dogan when we were concerned that our taxi driver was taking us the wrong way and Dogan called the driver immediately to talk to him. We also had an early morning flight out of Istanbul, and Burcu spoke to a taxi driver to organize a 5am pick up for us. They were both exceptionally responsive via message and provided us with cute breakfasts in the morning!
