Ali was a super host. You will be amazed by how organized he is. It was obvious that he really enjoyed being a host. You will differently get a lot more than what you expect. The apartment has almost everything you need from an actual spa. There is a beautiful fireplace which worked like a charm. There is a cosy cute garden to enjoy your morning coffee there. The location is at the heart of Istiklal road (Taksim) just few meters from the famous Mado baklava and Turkish tea shop. Loads of restaurants around. If you are lucky enough to find Ali's place available just go for it.
