The house is in the best area a tourist can stay in Istanbul. Not only in walking distance from the top sights but the neighborhood is perfect with lots of restaurants and cafes and amazing little shops with souvenirs but also artistic objects of high quality. The house of Erdem is really beautiful and exactly as seen in the photos. It is very carefully decorated and it accomodated us with the utmost comfort. We visited Istanbul in winter and it was warm and cosy and it felt like home. Erdem was always helpful and always available to help with info and is such a gentle and polite host, we were so happy to meet him in person! All in all, don't miss this place when you are in Istanbul!
