Incredible trip to Istanbul! It was our second time in Istanbul and we highly appreciated the Galata neighborhood. Dodo's place is ideally located, a few steps away from the Istiklal street where you will find a lot of animations, shops, restaurants, narguilé bars... A few steps away as well from the metro (Sishane), and some more steps will take you to the tram (which is the best way to go to Sultanahmet (where you will find the famous Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia) or Eminönü to take a boat tour over the Bosphorus).
Dodo is an incredible host and has been very reactive during the whole trip. If you have any need for recommendation, visit advice, place to go, he will always be ready to help! :)
The apartment itself was very nice, big enough to welcome 6 people (3 bedrooms + 2 comfortable sofas). It has everything you will need (towels, soap, shampoos, blankets...) and Dodo makes himself available at all time to help.
We would definitely come back to Dodo's place when we are back in Istanbul :)
