We have stayed at many AirBnBs over the last 8 years but Dodo's place stands out among everything else for more than a few reasons:
1. The home itself is beautiful with 3 full size bedrooms, a large cosy and comfortable living room and kitchen and a great bar where we spent 2 of the 5 nights in his home. We just did not find the need to step out. We also got a personalised tour of the house from Doruk's friend as he was travelling.
2. You can't get a better location, triangulated 50 meters from Galata and Istiklal, a quiet and peaceful steer with quaint stores and eateries. The little grocery store called The Market right opposites is open until 2:00 am at least for essentials and coffee which too is a great convenience.
3. Doruk himself was out of town but available on chat within minutes. He even helped book 4-5 different airport transfers and making changes to them for us. My family even got to meet him at check-out!
This house was a dream house! Thanks Doruk!
