We had a lovely stay at Ali's apartment. The view over the Bosporus is just stunning! The location is very central near the Galata Tower, quite a few cafes, locantas and shopping facilities are only a stone's throw away. The nearest metro and ferry station is 5-10 minutes walk.
The contact with Ali was very friendly, on the day of departure he ordered us a cab to the front door, which was great.
We would come back anytime!
