Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) had a wonderful stay in Dodo's place. The apartment was spotless, modern and superbly decorated. We all slept marvelously in the comfortable beds and really felt perfectly at home here during our stay. It was equipped with everything one would need. The location can also not be beat; the apartment is situated in the trendy Beyoglu neighborhood just steps from the Galata Tower on a darling street with lots of shops and cafes. In fact, we had breakfast on more than one occasion at the Marva café just down the street (don't miss the menemen!) Dodo's communication was excellent. He kindly arranged a private transfer for us from/to the airport, pre-purchased Istanbul museum cards for us, and provided a wealth of travel tips, restaurants, sightseeing and shopping recommendations. When we arrived, he also gave us a short walking tour of the neighborhood to help us get the lay of the land - and helped us purchase metro cards. He checked in on us during our stay to ensure all was going well and was very responsive to emails. Just the perfect host and the perfect place to stay in this amazing city. I could not recommend it more!
