If you are looking for where to stay in Istanbul I would definitely recommend to stay at Doğaç’s place!
The apartment is really nice and cozy, Doğaç’s stuffed penguins make it even cuter.
Location of the place is really good: a lot of restaurants, metro station is 5 minutes walk from home.
Doğaç himself is a great and supportive host.
He would provide you anything you need, help to make your trip plan and he is really great person to talk with.
Strong 5/5, highly recommend :)
