We were a large group visiting Istanbul for the first time- staying here was an absolute 5 star experience that we would highly recommend.
The apartments are in a beautifully restored heritage building, well designed and extremely comfortable. Everything we needed for our stay was thoughtfully anticipated and planned for (also great wifi in every room of the house)
The location is fabulous- on a quiet street in the heart of Galata, with shopping, restaurants and bars all a very short walk away… but the real highlight of our stay was being hosted by Dodo, who completely raised the bar as a host for us!
He was always super prompt to reply to all messages and questions. Right after our booking he shared detailed information about the apartment, and recommendations for the neighbourhood and the city. He went out of his way to help us with multiple (8!) different taxi bookings for our airport transfers and allowed us both an early checkin and late checkout to accommodate our flight timings. He met us at checkin and showed us around the neighbourhood- helping us to get our bearings and also shared recommendations on places to eat, details on public transport etc. and was always available at any time- he was a huge help with many random requests throughout our trip ranging from general questions to lost phones and covid tests. Please follow his restaurant recos blindly- every meal we had from his list was outstanding!
An amazing first visit to Istanbul for us and we hope to repeat it soon!
