Doruk is a very thoughtful host and the apartment is lovely.

We arrived early on Saturday morning and had to wait till 2pm before the other guests checked out and the apartment could be cleaned. Doruk took us for a drive around the city and we had breakfast with him at a beautiful riverfront restaurant serving a delicious traditional Turkish breakfast. He was great company and took took good care of us including booking us restaurants for dinner. The apartment is modern and clean and the location is really very convenient for eating out and getting to Sultanahmet and other neighbourhoods. Do wander the cobblestone streets and talk to the local residents. Have a freshly squeezed orange juice at the local grocery stores. Eat the grilled fish.
