Had a great time in Istanbul, and Ali's apartment is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of the impressive Galata Tower. He welcomed us on our first day, providing really useful insights into Istanbul, where to go and how to get around. Ali also organised taxi's to and from the airport which was really helpful. Slight issues with Wifi and the TV not working, also was slightly disappointed with a previously unmentioned 'early check in' fee of 40 euros. Having said this, we still had a great stay and would definitely recommend the area and Ali's apartment.
