Ali’s place was much more than we could have hoped for! Not only was he quick to respond to any questions we had, but he went above and beyond by allowing us to use his washer/dryer for free and calling us a cab for the morning of our departure. An amazing host! As for the space; we loved the location. It’s just a short walk from Istiklal street, which has some great shopping and restaurants. It is very easy to walk from the apartment to the Old City, but with the luxury of some quiet space. As other reviewers mentioned, the walls are quite thin, so if you’re a light sleeper you will want some earplugs. But other than that, we had no complaints. We definitely recommend staying here and will be coming again!
