Ali, is a very giving and trusting super host!! When he says he is offering you the entirety of his apartment he truly means exactly what he says! This man went beyond the limits of a person that has just succumbed emotionally to one of the most devastating tragedies that can confront us as humans in this past 2 months!! Ali's place is as described precisely as indicated very comfortable, very centrally located to the ferries, the busses, to food vendors and Both the European and the Asian sides of Istanbul Ali's dog Rita is a real charmer! I'll use apartment is in the vicinity of the nightlife!!! The room is air conditioned which was a wonderful asset with the high temperatures and high humidity!!! I would definitely recommend that you stay with Ali because what you get is definitely worth more than the monetary value he extracts!!!!
