ali's place was fantastic
my flight got in VERY late and ali had no problem waiting for me to show up
it was much bigger than it looks in the pictures and also more comfortable than i was expecting
the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was AMAZING
the location was perfect, just a few minutes walk to Istiklal Street and Galata Tower and tons of restaurants and shops
i've seen some comments on here about the amount of noise from neighbors and such and the fact of the matter is that there was quite a bit of noise but, i just brought some earplugs with me for sleeping and had no problems whatsoever
all in all this was one of the best airbnb experiences i'v ever had
i would definitely recommend ali's place to anyone visiting Istanbul
