I really enjoyed staying here at Osman's place in Istanbul. It's located in a really nice, hip neighborhood, and easily walkable to Old Town. It's got a spectacular view of everything, which makes for a nice venue for a cocktail as the sun goes down!
In addition, Osman is a great host. He's very lively and wants to make sure his guests are having a great time. He went as far as carrying the luggage up the stairs to the place, as well as offer suggestions for places to eat nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to go back next time I'm in town!
