Ali Sina is a very pleasant, cimmunicative and kind host who constantly went out of his way to accommodate me. Check in was as smooth as it'd get and check out was straight forward.
The location is close enough to Taksim square to walk to, and far enough to distant yourself from its craziness. The unit itself was spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean. The only concern was that the unit was listed as a one bedroom, but it is in fact a large studio that has the sleeping area seperated by a divider; this turned out fine for me, as my partner could not make it and I was by myself. The view is incredible and to top it off Ali Sina owns a very trendy cafe downstairs where they serve top-notch coffee and desserts.
