I had a wonderful time staying at Ali's place. The apartment is clean and neat. You have nothing to worry about, all the amenities are provided. The neighbourhood is very safe and friendly.
The apartment is in a very accessible area, everything you need is just a walk away. All touristy places are within a walking distance as it is centrally located.
If you are visiting Istanbul for the first time, I would highly recommend this place to stay.
A big thank you to Ali for providing a great and price-worthy stay.
