The house is beyond beautiful. We were the first guest to be hosted in this house, and lucky were we..
It’s beautiful and cozy, with many personal touches everywhere. All amenities are as described, the house is well equipped and extremely clean and tidy.
It can easily accommodate 5 guests comfortably, yet you have to be extra careful when with children as the house contains many beautiful but fragile pieces, which would certainly amuse little guys 😄
The location is in the heart of the European Istanbul, and nearby the tram line. We didn’t use the bus transport but the Main Street is just 2 min walk from the door step. The neighborhood is quit and lovely, with many local stores, cafes and restaurant of all sorts. It’s an old and one, so car parking are limited, but you’ll manage to park your vehicle a few steps away if you have one. I’d you’d like to stay in a private place nearby all the famous attractions, while staying away from the hassle and dazzle of tourist Istanbul, this would be a prefect fit for you.
The house has its northern and southern facades facing open spaces, which allows for a refreshing cool breeze of air to circulate the house when windows of opposite sides are open, hence wonderfully cool on the summer.
The little garden was a joy, we had sunset tea outdoor, enjoying the company of the lovely kittens living out there. And in the backyard, there’s a greengage tree that we had the pleasure to pick some of its fruit.
Ms. Emel was our point of contact. She is amazing, extremely friendly and very responsive. She checked on us every day and offered much appreciated suggestions for our trip in Istanbul. The neighbors were also so lovely and immediately made us feel part of the community, welcoming and positively interactive all the time, which my parents truly loved.
Downside: we wished to stay longer there, but the house is a true rare find. Don’t miss it, and book it with confidence that it would make your trip.
