We chose the flat due to the location and terrace - and we were not disappointed! Location is spot on, quiet street next to a big shopping street and many restaurants and we made good use of the terrace which offers fabulous views! As other guests mentioned, you MUST bring a sleeping mask, even if you are usually a good sleeper. It gets super light. Also, don't forget ear plugs due to the praying going on at night (maybe only during Ramadan?). However, without a doubt, Ali is why we are giving the flat 5 Stars - he is one of the kindest hosts we stayed with. Thank you for your hospitality! He will go above and beyond to make sure you will encounter no problems in Istanbul
