Authentic stone style house located in a quiet street just off the main centre of Alacati. The decor was very tasteful and the courtyard was a lovely place to hang out and relax. Nice touches included providing basic necessities and we even came home to a bag full of yummy cakes waiting for us.

Gulay's house was very nice! It is perfectly located in the center of Alacati, a great base to explore the area. The house is cute and cosy, well decorated with all you need for a comfortable stay. It is also very quiet and cool, even when it's hot outside. Gulay was easy to communicate with and helpful in helping us arrange our stay. She gave us lots of tips and information and was flexible about our arrival and departure schedule. Overall a great stay!

Response from Gülay:

Merhaba Cengiz Bey, İptal işleminin sizinle ilgisi olmadığını belirtmek isterim. sizin talep ettiğiniz günlerde evimiz dolu, kendi hatam ile önce rezervasyonunuzu kabul ettim ve yanlışımı fark ettiğim anda iptal ettim. Anlayışla karşılayacağınızı umuyorum.. sevgilerimle...

Gulay was lovely! She made herself as available as possible to us and always responded to my texts swiftly. We were welcomed with homemade jams. She even went out of her way and baked us cookies on our first morning. The house is quaint, its location is very central. Me, my partner and our friends enjoyed it immensely; we found the experience much better than any hotel could have offered (I've been to Alacati a lot and stayed in various hotels). The only thing to be wary of is the moldy smell in the bedroom downstairs, which is expected of an old stone house. We placed the fan in that room and our friends burned some incense to get rid of the smell.

Response from Gülay:

Dear Cemre, Thank you for sharing your ideas,, It is very nice to hear that all.. The smell is being felt sometimes.. It derives from the wind, If the weather is too windy, rarely it is, This smell is felt in Alaçatı. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Best Regards, Gülay XX

Wonderful. This place is why Airbnb offers more than an anonymous hotel experience. Traditional but homely house, compact but big enough, lovely hosts with great advice on what to see and do in the great town of Alacati, home made Jam and fresh fruit to welcome You, what more could you want?!!

Response from Gülay:

Thank you Pedro, great to hear.. Best Regards, Didem S

Staying at Gülay´s house was wonderful!. Alaçati is a lovely little town but the house made the experience just perfect. Gülay and Didem made sure we were settled in, picked us up from the town´s entrance, and walked us in and through the house. There were drinks and fruits in the fridge, coffee, and home made jam. The house is fully equipped to use as if it were your own and it is incredibly comfortable. I now I stayed longer!!!!

I like living in Alaçatı, one of the best reason is why I settle down here is the peace and calm especially in spring, autumn and winter.

Looking for sharing this beautiful life experience with other people in this old stone house.
