Ali's terrace and home was the perfect place to relax after a busy day visiting the sights Istanbul has to offer. The terrace offers amazing views of the Bosphorous and gets the sun on a morning and mid-afternoon, so is perfect for a morning coffee and allowing you to plan the day ahead. Very central, and a short walk from local metros, bars, restaurants and a busy shopping street (10mins walk to Taksim Square). Ali communicated brilliantly with us, and both checking in and out was a breeze with Ali arranging for a taxi to take us back to the airport for our returning flight, as well as offering places to visit for food/drinks and day trips, sending links for boats and regularly checking in to see if we were having a good time. WiFi in the flat was fine, bed nice and comfortable and shower really good. All in all, a perfect host with a beautiful home for an unforgettable stay. Highly recommend!!!
