Genuine historic mansion operating by wonderful people. We couldn’t expect better.
Nurezadatul from Malaysia (10/10)
It's an old house; however, it is in very good condition, clean, and perfect for our group. The host was very kind to add an extra bed for our last-minute request.

We stayed for 4 nights and the house had everything we needed. Supermarkets, restaurants, tram, and parks are within walking distance. Very easy to get to the main tourist attractions.

It was an amazing old house that has been remodeled, right in the heart of the city. It was comfortable and clean. Bathrooms and beds were very good. The location was excellent, just minutes walk to the tramway and a large park. There's a minimart right across the street.

Greg from United Kingdom (10/10)
Staying in a historical mansion by the sea made us feel like we were in historical Istanbul. The owner did his best to make us feel at home, we appreciate them. A total of 3 toilets and 2 showers on each floor were a real luxury for us. You must experience this!
