I've been staying at AirBnB places for the past couple of years, I love AirBnB. Then you come across a place like Doret and Izel's and you love AirBnB even more. This was my second time in Istanbul, and CasaLoBueno made it perfect the second time around. The neighborhood is perfect, you are minutes away from bars, restaurants, markets, stores, music, sights, and transportation. The apt is exactly what you see, but you need to stay there to see how perfect it is.

First, you have an AMAZING host. Izel (Doret's brother) arranged everything for us, from the pick-up at the airport, to the drop-off a week later. He made sure we got everything we needed and more. He is genuinely interested in people, he took us out for coffee, a tour of Suleymaniye Mosque, and took us to the best Rice and Beans place. He gave us a complete how-to guide for the city.

Istanbul is beautiful, and having a perfect location to stay at makes it that much easier to explore. Every once in a while you really hit the jackpot with location, and staying here was definitely a memorable experience. We will always stay at CasaLoBueno with Doret and Izel when we return, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants a care-free, easy stay in Istanbul.
