Ali's place really delivers a genuine Istanbul experienced. The decoration is modern and rustic, in a lovely quite street walking distance to the beautiful Galata tower, cozy cafes and shops, public transportation and bars. It's somewhere you feel at home immediately. We actually didn't meet in person but the check-in was easy and communicating with Ali was always very easy. Thank you so much for your hospitality Ali! 100% recommend it to all travelers visiting the Turkish capital!
