Ther is no doubt that Erdal has been the best host we have ever stayed with. A perfect combination of friendliness and Turkish hospitality. Erdal came to pick us up from the airport and waited 3 hours due to delays, then drove us to the property. Many times we asked him for help arranging taxis etc and he has been a great help for us throughout our stay. By accident we booked a night too short which was no problem and Ad hoc he let us stay an other night. The house it self is like a majestic mansion, clean, beautifully decorated and very big. Easy great for a few families to combine for a special event. The pool and big garden are great option for kids that can swim and there are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to feel private in all different areas of the house. The kitchen is huge and a real hub to hang out with a group and socialise while cooking. The distance to the air port is about 1 hour in average traffic and perhaps more or less in different traffic conditions. In peak it is 1.5h to center Istanbul but only 45 min outside of peak. The house keeper who lives on the property in a separate house has been a great help too arranging taxis etc. which is needed as it is fairly remote and Taxis don’t hang out there unless you order them. The house was beautifully heated and comfortable in every respect. The host was very friendly to let me allow to switch the electricity off due to my electric hyper sensitivity - which makes this house a great option for who has the same disability and wants to visit Istanbul anyhow. My ans my sisters huge thanks to Erdal and his team.
Kind regards,
