Blue Amanchich was an awesome spot and Doruk was a phenomenal host! The apartment is located on a pretty quite street in a great neighborhood - far away from the chaos of the old part of town, but close enough to all the sites and to some fun neighborhood bars, restaurants and shopping. The apartment itself was perfect for our group of 4, with plenty of space to relax and chill out while we were home and with modern amenities that made our friends who stayed elsewhere jealous. It really felt like home away from home. Doruk was also amazing - he arranged shuttles for us, promptly answered all our questions and had tons of helpful information about the neighborhood and city. He was an excellent host. If we go back to Istanbul - which I hope we will - I would definitely stay at Blue Amanchich again! Thanks for everything Doruk!
