Ali’s place is about 15 minutes to Sultanahmet area. It’s a walk uphill towards the main attractions. There are maps and Istanbul guides provided in the room. He provides water for drink. Towels available. It’s an old house, so you can hear them walking around above your room. There is a nice place to eat near Ali’s house called ‘Imren Lokantasi’ which serves Turkish traditional breakfast and lunch. Ali’s place is worth the money, and safe for women traveling alone. He has a little souvenir shop when you enter his townhouse.
