I definitely recommend this house, which is both elegant, comfortable and full of history.
Figen Hanim was a perfect host. She was always available, right from the start. She welcomed us very friendily and provided us with all necessary information about the house & things happening in Istanbul during the time of our stay.
The house is just as described by Figen Hanim & as portrayed in the pictures : fabulous! Its location is great, at a walking distance from Arnavutkoy and its' fish restaurants by the Bosphorus, close to public transports and taxi station. There's a little grocery & a bigger supermarket nearby. Besides, the neighborhood itself is very calm, picturesque and green - an oasis in the heart of Istanbul.
By staying at Figen Hanim's house, you're certain to get the best of what Istanbul has to offer : you'll get a glimpse of Istanbul as it once was.
