We had an amazing experience staying with Ali. The apartment is very well located. A mins walk from one of the main streets of Istanbul yet only a few streets away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. The check-in was quick and Ali did us a huge favour by letting us keep some of our luggage at his place for a couple of nights while we were travelling within Turkey. Thanks a lot for that Ali.
The apartment stay made me feel like a local by the end of the stay. Lots of cafes in the area and a very hip crowd in the neighbourhood.
I would definitely be staying here next time i visit Istanbul.
