Beautiful central location - literally a 3-minute walk away from the Blue Mosque! Aslan made me feel right at home, and treated me like family. And the breakfast? Out of this world. My only suggestion would be to have it right when it is served because, in the open space, the food goes cold quickly. The view from the balcony where it is served is breathtaking as the place is located right next to the Bosphorus. Cons: rooms and washrooms a bit small, walls a bit thin for the light sleeper.
Location + Host + Cleanliness + Traditional Turkish breakfast = 10/10
