Alexis house is absolutely beautiful and the best way I can think of to experience Istanbul - it is a 5 min walk from all the cafes, bars and restaurants in Beyoglu and within walking distance of every city staple. The house has been recently renovated and is in perfect condition, but has kept the spirit of the old ages which made out stay their magical.

Alexis was very quick with replies and made sure we knew everything we needed before leaving. His mother met us at the house to give further instructions, even though there was no need to, because they have already thought of everything you might need - from slippers to the wine bottle opener. Highly recommended!
