No wonder why everyone is very satisfied in their reviews from Ali's hospitality. He was a great host. We arrived at 8:30 in the morning and while the Check in is at 12 PM, he welcomed us to rest in the room earlier as we were exhausted. When we woke up, he gave us a map and showed us the most important places to visit. The room was amazingly clean with everything in order. The house was very friendly and we were invited for tea and cake by Ali and his lovely wife after a long day of walking around the city. We had to leave at 3:30 AM to catch the flight at 7:20. Ali woke us up to not miss the flight and accompanied us to the door at 3:30 AM which is very early for anyone. Overall, we are so happy to have stayed in Ali's house and it will be the first place to check its availability when I will decide to visit Istanbul again. A great host and a great family!
