Actually it is not my first trip to Istanbul, but I am quite sure that, during my all trips to Istanbul I will stay in Ali's house. because, first of all he is so kind guy and tries to help for everything. then, the house was very good and full newly renovated. all staff in the house was very clear and new, even I couldn't find any negative point. Another main thing is that, the house is located in a very suitable part of City center, near to the Taksim square. its very easy to find the house and you have so many options to go for shopping, restaurants and anywhere. the location of the house is so close to public transport stations. so, I strongly recommend everyone Ali's house who wants to have funny and comfortable long or short stay in Istanbul. :)
