We had a great time at Ali's place. We couldn't have asked for a better location. The appartment is very nice and cozy with everything we needed. Beyoglu is a nice neighborhood with old streets and some cultural places around the area. All the touristical places are very close, even by foot for those who like to walk. Ferries and metro are also close. I would for sure recommend Ali's place to everyone that wants to enjoy Istanbul amazing experiences and views. Our holidays were just perfect.
