We have loved our time at Ali’s place! The apartment had everything one might need for a long stay - great WiFi, very well-furnished kitchen with any utensil imaginable, very nice tv, washing and drying machines, etc. The home is very cozy especially the stylish living room. The apartment is located on the ground/basement floor, however, we didn’t find it particularly dark during the day, so it wasn’t an issue for us at all.
The location’s also great, the neighborhood itself is quite peaceful, but there are lots of grocery shops, nice cafes and restaurants around. It’s close to the Osmanbey metro station and the walk to Taksim is around 15-20 minutes.
Ali is a fantastic host! He’s very kind, helpful and quick to respond. We definitely recommend his place and him as a host!
