The host Ali was fantastic, so warm, so helpful and he really heped us get settled and orientated for our 3 day visit to Istanbul. The location of this place is perfect, in an old Ottoman neighbourhood with easy walking to, well, just about everything. The apartment was also completely suited for up to 4 people, great internet, lots of movies and hot water, and a kitchen with everything, although we ate out most of the time. This place for us was 5 stars and we are going back!!
