I truly loved to stay at Özlems place. It was very quiet and at the same time you're in the middle of the city close to restaurants, the sea, public transport. It was perfect! The room is wonderful and sweet. I loved the two cats. Always welcoming me when I came home. Özlem is one of the most warmhearted persons I know. She was very helpful whenever I had a question. We had beautiful chats, although I was mostly coming home late. .-) She is a very good soul and I'd definitely stay there again whenever I come back to Istanbul.
