Ali’s place is great, we loved the terrace and watching the boats go up and down the Bosphorus. Its easy to get to the tram and get to all the main sites and if you go up the hill you have lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. Ali was very helpful and let us leave our bags at his place after we checked out and got us a taxi to the airport. Great spot and good air conditioning for those hot days. Bedroom ceiling is sloped so if you are tall that might be an issue but the view compensates!
