Absolutely amazing place, Ali was an incredible host and if you're looking for a place to stay in Istanbul this is it!
The apartment is located on quiet street in the Galata neighbourhood a short walk away from Şişhane metro station. After a delay at the airport, Ali greeted me warmly at the front door and showed me the space which is very accurate. Probably the best Airbnb I have stayed in this entire trip. He also provided me with suggestions on where to go, what to see, places to eat, where the grocery store was and where the catch public transportation.
Ali was very responsive and accommodating, I couldn't have asked for a better host. When I return to Istanbul, and I will, I will hopefully be able to stay at Ali's place again.
