Osman is the man! My flight arrived 2 hours late from Los Angeles and I had 0 means of communicating with him. After such a long delay caused by me (unfortunately) Osman met us in taksim square, drive us to his home, helped us carry out bag up the stairs and sat with us for a bit until we were fully settled in. After our last ng day of traveling Osman was kind enough to order food delivery so my family and I could have a bite to eat before we went off to sleep as we were famished. When we left Osman helped with our bags and helped us hail a taxi in a very difficult time of day and explain we needed a ride to a far away airport.
As far as his place is concerned it has everything you need and most everything you want for an very comfortable stay. The views are gorgeous and the roof top terrace is simply stunning. The one caveat is if you have small children and carrying a stroller you will get a workout getting to his apartment walking up the stairs. But than again in Istanbul because the food is soooo good a little excerices is necessary to burn those calories. Osman and his home are excellent. I highly recommend!!!
