Property information

Daphnee decided to stay at a boutique hotel called The House Company to explore Istanbul, famous for its historical and mystical atmosphere. As she walked through the narrow cobblestone streets of the French Quarter, she could feel the traces of the past with each step. When she stepped inside the hotel's door, she immediately felt a warm and privileged atmosphere, like a cozy home. As she took the room key and headed towards her room, she touched the wooden handrails on the narrow stairs. The old paintings on the room walls, the modernly furnished furniture, and the dim light seeping through the windows created a comforting ambiance. Daphnee felt lucky for choosing this room. It exuded a peaceful silence, and she was certain she would find inner tranquility in this atmosphere. The next morning, before stepping out into the streets of historical Istanbul waiting to be explored, Daphnee examined the touristic info available at the hotel's reception. The mysterious historical sites, unique views, and mystical atmosphere of Istanbul enchanted her. She decided to embark on a journey to nourish her soul and truly discover historical Istanbul. Upon returning to The House Company, she found a corner where she could listen to live music under the dim lights cast by the evening sun on the French street. The music and serenity of the street completed her spiritual experience of exploring Istanbul. She felt safe, comfortable, and at home. The time spent in this special boutique hotel turned into an unforgettable adventure where Daphnee nourished her soul and captured the mystical energy of historical Istanbul. When Daphnee left The House Company, she carried numerous memories in her heart about Istanbul and this enchanting boutique hotel, along with a sense of spiritual fulfillment. For her, The House Company was the perfect sanctuary to explore historical Istanbul and continue her inner journey. And this unforgettable experience would always hold a piece of The House Co.

Neighbourhood information

Chords of Love: A Dream on French Street French Street, a magical corner in the heart of Istanbul, with its cobblestone roads and elegant cafes, carried the traces of romance in every step. The air was filled with the scent of history and the melody of love. It was a place where two hearts, as if from a fairytale, would cross paths. Alice was a young and dreamy woman, devoted to music and literature. Even as she wandered the streets, her ears could catch the music notes echoing around her. She loved taking evening strolls on French Street, gazing at the stars in the sky. It was during these moments of getting lost in the streets that a new story would begin to take shape in her heart. One afternoon, while sitting at a cafe on French Street, her eyes were drawn to a performance accompanied by music. Among the performers, there was a mysterious and talented musician named Olivier, creating a mesmerizing melody on his guitar. His music felt like a spell, instantly captivating Alice's heart. Olivier roamed the streets of Istanbul, captivating everyone with his guitar skills. One evening, as he played amidst the romantic ambiance of French Street, he noticed Alice's beauty and charisma. In that moment, he felt a new love taking root in his heart. Alice and Olivier began to explore other beauties of Istanbul together. They wandered through historical landmarks, witnessed mesmerizing sunsets by the shore, and cherished every single moment. French Street became the starting point of their love story, and the romantic memories they created there became a symbol of an everlasting bond in their hearts. Alice dreamed of singing along with Olivier's guitar, and the two lovers continued to live their love through the power of music on French Street. With every step they took, the chords of love brought them even closer to each other. And so, the enchanting love story that began on French Street turned into a timeless song in the hearts of Alice and Olivier.
