The house is an original Turkish house and wonderfully decorated with all modern amenities. It is set over 4 floors. On the first day or two it took us some time to get use to going up and down the stairs, but it wasn't a problem once we became accustomed. Outside the house finding a decent parking spot can be an issue, but the local neighbourhood is lovely and Sariyer centre is only 10 minutes walk along the Bosphorus. All in all a very lovely place to stay.
