Ali is a great host! Welcoming, flexible, very friendly en helpful with useful tips. The appartment is situated only 5 minutes walking from the Galata-tower and still in a friendly, quiet and safe neighborhood. Around you will find some local shops and e few good places for breakfast. The appartment itself is well equiped. And the view.... wel the view.... Is indeed amazing. At daytime as well at night. Great to have breakfast with such a view! All in all we had a good time in Istanbul and would, although the appartment is a bit expensive, surely recommend to book this place. Thanks Ali!
