This place is absolutely amazing!!! The pictures don’t even do it justice. It manages to be modern while retaining its historical integrity, mixed with an amazing architectural style. I can see why Doruk is a Superhost and I would not be surprised if his apartment makes it in AirBnb Plus anytime.
The place is equipped with everything you could need, including a fully stocked kitchen with dish soap, dish washer tabs, a washer and dryer with detergent and softener, a hot/cold water machine that he will refill immediately when empty, hand soap, shower soap, extra pillows and linens, umbrellas, etc. Nothing is missing! He has prepared detailed documents indicating recommended local restaurants, bars, and tourist sites. He even left us sweet gifts for our family!
All three bedrooms face the back of the apartment, meaning that it will be completely quiet at night. The wifi is strong and consistent throughout the apartment (this was a concern of ours as we are digital nomads and require it for work and school… in the end, there was no need to worry here!)
The street the apartment is on is full of lovely restaurants, coffee shops, clothing stores, etc. So much to do just on this one street. And keep walking straight and you are at the Galata tower!
Doruk is a fantastic host. He responded immediately at all times and passed on local news that impacted us during our stay (new year’s eve street closures and such). We felt we were in good hands in a foreign city as he was eager to assist us whenever we needed help.
I highly recommend Doruk’s apartment. You can book without hesitating! One of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever had and we travel a lot!!!!
