Short version: Everything was perfect!
Long version: Our stay in Dogans apartment was really enjoyable. The house is nicely and modernly furnished. The garden is cute and has street cats visiting you every day.
I was especially happy about the great kitchen: There’s a real gas stove and you literally have every equipment you might need for a great cooking session. All basic cooking ingredients like oil or salt were there and even more than expected was available like tea or oatmeal.
Also the bathroom was nice, modern and clean. The shower has a good water-strength and heat.
The apartment is located in a very cool and lively neighborhood, lots of restaurants and bars are surrounding it, yet inside of the apartment it’s really calm. Only noise to maybe mention is the Mosque’s prayer calling, but this you’ll hear everywhere in Istanbul - so bring some earplugs if you have a light sleep.
Thank you, Dogan, for letting us stay in your house! Hoping to come there again :)
