Nice, cosy and authentic apartments. Two spacy rooms and a pretty large hall. Apartments are comfortable to work. There is a good wooden table and comfortable chairs in the hall, and the internet is fast. A lot of kitchen utensils, dishes, linens, blankets and sheets are available, even the drying rack for washed linen, a very good bed and a mattress. Apartments are warm in autumn - heating batteries are in every room.
The bathroom is a bit dated. The boiler is tricky to use at first, be aware it takes time to heat water.
Location. The apartment is close to Istiklal and Taksim, but it's a less crowded and more simple area. Sometimes there was a loud music in the street in the evenings, but there wasn't noise from neighbours at all. Several groceries and cafes are nearby.
And, of course, Ali is a very pleasant and helpful host, ready to answer any questions and help if you cannot figure out something. It was a good time to stay there.
