It was a great 3days-stay at Ali's apartment. After being in many different hotels across Turkey we wanted to try something special in Istanbul. It was the first time in Turkey where we were able to talk to locals. Ali is a very good person who puts his soul into the environment of the apartment. When you stay here you feel like you're staying over at a friend's home. I think that's what a true Airbnb experience should be like.
The only downside of the stay I'd say is a lack of a bathroom for guests but it doesn't matter that much considering so many advantages of the stay. The design of an apartment is very cool, the location is perfect and the building itself is very atmospheric. Highly recommended!
