I truly enjoyed my stay at Ozlem's parent's bed & breakfast. Ozlem manages the airbnb listing for the Buhara Family Inn, and she facilitated my late check-in and answered my many questions.
The Inn is located in the old part of Istanbul, a stone's throw away from the Blue Mosque. It is the perfect location from which to explore the area. The Inn is also home to the most darling cat, and the compact neighborhood around the inn is home to at least 6 friendly cats- magical for a cat-lover like myself!
My room was on the second floor, and was well appointed with towels, shampoo and soap. The shower water was nice and hot. The WiFi signal was surprisingly strong.
Breakfast is served from 8-10 am, and is delicious, with many savory and sweet options for all sorts of diets. I loved the fresh juice, and the staff were so kind as to humor me by letting me try to juice the fruit!
Without traffic, the Inn is about a 20 minute ride from Atäturk Airport (IST).
