Our family of 3 enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Ali and Asli's very large house with green oasis of a garden.
The hosts were very friendly, helpful and responsive to our queries before and during our stay.
The photos show the amazing historic character and size of the house with antique furniture and artwork in each room.
The huge terrace on the 2nd level was a personal favorite with water views in 3 directions, sunny in the morning and shaded in the afternoon.
We only used 2 bedrooms but there are many bedrooms, many beds and also 2 bathrooms making it ideal for larger groups too.
Our little girl loved the garden which has many fruit trees including figs, blackberries and apples. We loved longing under the shaded grape vines and had all our meals on the large rear terrace.
The wifi was reliable, house was clean and with a modern kitchen and bathrooms we had a peaceful 21st century stay in a 19th century mansion just a ferry ride from Istanbul.
We look forward to staying again on our next Istanbul trip.
