Ali's place is a great place to stay in Istanbul. His newly renovated room has everything you need. It's clean, well appointed (good broadband Wifi, great shower, comfy bed, reading matter, maps and guides, coffee and tea making facilities etc.

In addition, the house is really well located in Sultanahmet, close to many of the great iconic buildings, in the middle of the old part of Istanbul; so great for strolling around, eating, shopping and relaxing. There is a beautiful park at the end of the road. And the airport is only 15-20 minutes away.

On top of this Ali is a great host, interesting and welcoming and he runs a small shop with a great range of lights, jewellery and knick knacks for last minute gifts...

Highly recommended
