Ali's place really is a great find. It's located in a small street just off of Istiklal, very quiet and close to everything. The apartment is a basement fitted with so many conveniences (movie and sound system, kitchen, huge dining table, and even a steam room (!)). It even has a fireplace for winter, although I couldn't get it to work and had to get some help from Ali. Do make sure you're comfortable with the heating if you come in the winter, as it can get pretty cold. All in all it's a great place and I would definitely come again
