We spent a week in Istanbul in Doruk's apartment that is located in a very neat area, walking distance from Galata tower. This 2-level apartment was clean, equipped with the essential necessities any traveler might need (and some). For further needs, a tiny grocery store was across the street (3 m away). Doruk has been very welcoming, respectful and very much customer-service oriented prior and throughout our visit. Truly highly recommended place as well as the host.
