I have stayed at several places in the city of Istanbul and this was one of the best. As soon as you enter the house, you feel as if you have entered a home.
The kitchen was fully equipped and high standard. The basement was very cosy and the kids loved playing down there. The living room on the first floor was comfortable and nice to rest in. The kids loved the bunk bed on the same floor and made it their own. The master en-suite bedroom on the top floor was very spacious and relaxing. The fact that there was a WC on each floor made it a luxury for our family.
There was plenty of spare bedding, towels and other amenities. Even though shoes were not permitted beyond the front entrance, slippers are provided stored inside a small cabinet nearby.
We stayed during the coldest month of the year so the house was on the cool side but I have raised with Suha and I believe he will rectify this for future guests visiting during the winter. I required a cot and highchair on arrival and Suha kindly provided this through Songül. Songül was at hand to help whenever we needed and was very friendly and welcoming.
The area of küzgünçük is very clean and full of restaurants and cafes. We enjoyed buying from the bakery Gül Ekmek down the bottom of the Road. Ismel bey was amazingly welcoming and the bread egg was very tasty.
It takes approximately 20-25 mins to walk to the ferry port or central area where you will also find the bus station and underground station. You can also catch buses starting with the number 15, from the main paşalimani road.
Overall, I believe the little white house to be a gem inside an ocean of a city. No matter what the reason of your visit, I believe this to be a top choice for a base to explore Istanbul from or simply to take a break and relax.
A huge thumbs up to this host. Thank you.
