Our family of four had an excellent stay at Doret & Izel’s place. The apartment is well appointed and in an excellent location in a local, lively neighborhood with many places to eat and drink just steps away. Yet all the main tourist sights are easily and quickly reachable by public transportation. Izel is a great host. He helped arrange airport transfers, arrange for laundry service, and gave us a nice introduction to Istanbul upon check in (his list of suggested sights and restaurants is long and good)! Most importantly, he was always available for any questions we had during our stay and his responses were prompt and timely. Highly recommended.
