The apartment is located near Galata tower and Istiklal street, a short walk away from cafes and tourist attractions but also nestled in a quiet street surrounded by little boutiques and a stone throw away from a number of local coffee shops and cafes. Apartment is spacious, well decorated with wall art worthy of a gallery, comfy beds and furniture and all amenities one might need. It easily and comfortably hosted our party of six. The bar area was a fun addition for us to hang out and enjoy a few drinks. We mostly walked to various tourist destinations, but apartment is very close to a metro station and public transport is very accessible. Dodo is a SUPER host! He is very communicative. Provided us with 4 PDF documents outlining almost everything you need to know about the apartment, restaurant, and tourist recommendations before the trip. He was always available to answer questions; and coordinated a last minute early check-in for us when he realized my sister’s party is arriving early, despite being on vacation himself and our check-in being in the middle of a long holiday weekend. He was also very very responsive to our random requests through our stay, arranging a boat rental and airport transport for us! He provides a level of service above and beyond, something I only have seen sporadically from 5 star hotel’s concierge!! I cannot recommend Dodo and his apartment if you are planning to stay in Istanbul! We certainly will be back.
