We had a fantastic stay at Dodo's place. It is a stunning apartment, very clean, all the amenities we needed, and in a spectacular location - both quiet and in the heart of Istanbul, close to everything you'll want to see and do. As a Turkish-American, I typically stay with family, but this time we decided to have a different type of 'local' experience with my American family, and we're so happy to have chosen Dodo's gorgeous apartment to do so.
Dodo gave us an enjoyable tour of the neighborhood upon checking in, which helped us get our grounding right away. We ended up enjoying breakfast as well as late night drinks in this very accessible, varied neighborhood (one of my personal favorites in Istanbul).
We would definitely stay here again.
