Me and my family really enjoyed staying in Ali's apartment. It was clean, bright and spacious, simply equipped, with a good Wi-Fi connection. Just around the corner is smaller grocery store, it was open almost nonstop. People in neighborhood are helpful and friendly. The street was a bit noisy because of traffic. There is a beautiful green park very near, ideal for picnic. Ali was a very good and caring host. The communication was easy. He gave us all information and tips about the city that we asked. He even sent us a municipality warning about dangerous waves during the weekend in Istanbul, because he knew that we are planning to go to swim. He also let us to check out later because we had evening flight.
