My stay at social house in Istanbul was absolutely wonderful. What made it extra special was the location and the very friendly staff. Anytime when I needed directions to go somewhere, Ridvan, was helping me out and even writing out directions. He was always very pleasent and helpful. Mustafa and his happy face always added vibrance into the environment. He even asked his father to fix my backpack when it broke. Muhsin helped me bring my luggage to the metro as I was departing to go back home. Ako was the manager, he was very nice and made me wonderful tea. I really enjoyed the guest everynight and the social gatherings every evening. I made lots of friends and even got invited to a Indian wedding in February. The social house during my stay was a home not a hotel, I felt very safe there. I 100% recommend and would definitely stay here if I go back to Istanbul.
