Ali and Feliz were perfect hosts and gave me and my partner a wonderful introduction to Istanbul, complete with Turkish tea and coffee in their courtyard and lots of excellent tips on attractions. The house is beautifully painted by Ali and the room is comfortable, clean and a great place to relax. They even walked us to a local hammam dating back to the 18th century, which we would never have found otherwise. They were so hospitable that staying with them was a special part of our visit, but they were never overbearing. I highly recommend staying with them when you visit Istanbul!
