Ali is very kind and we enjoyed our stay at his place very much! We had our own room and shared common spaces. It was comfortable, had Wi-Fi, and a washer/dryer. It was a 10 minute walk to istiklal street (super fun street with tons of shops and restaurants) and 20 minute walk to T1 tram. Felt like it was a great place to stay in a great location. Definitely would stay again or recommend to a friend!
