Amazing apartment, incredible neighbourhood - a gem of a host! Doruk provided us with a fantastic experience. The apartment itself was gorgeous - beautifully decorated, with a fantastic use of space. We were three adults and 3 children staying 6 days. We found the amenities very comfortable. 2 bathrooms were a plus, loved the big kitchen, and lots of space for everyone to unpack. Wifi was very quick, and the a/c very effective. And there was a small grocery store literally across the street - very convenient. But what really made our stay was the attention to detail from the host. Doruk provided a range of materials - which he has composed himself - on the apartment, the neighbourhood, his favourite restaurants marked on google maps. He also provided public transport cards, to which we could add credit and use. Doruk did some basic grocery shopping for us in advance (for which we reimbursed him) so that we could have a lazy start after a very long flight. He also made reservations on our behalf at restaurants throughout our stay, as well as booking our driver for airport transfers. There were also instructions in the kitchen on how to make Turkish coffee! We literally couldn't have asked for more, We were blown away by the experience. This was our first trip to Istanbul, but I really hope not our last.
