The boss and his wife are very enthusiastic.

Sempre priorizo três questões para escolher uma acomodação: os anfitriões, a casa/quarto e a localização. Sobre os anfitriões, não acredito que haja mais legais e prestativos em qualquer lugar do mundo. É a segunda vez que me hospedo com eles e espero haver muitas outras. Sobre a casa/quarto, tudo que alguém precisa para se sentir confortável e com sensação de liberdade. Sobre a localização, consegue ser ainda melhor que a da casa anterior, que já era muito boa. Olhar pela janela e ver árvores para todo lado é um upgrade enorme. Para quem gosta de caminhar, um privilégio. Para quem quer explorar Tehran, nem se fala, já que há uma estação de metrô a 5 minutos de distância. Enfim, não poderia esperar nada melhor.

I have been to Tehran twice and I chose this place both times. The couple is so friendly and helpful. They take care of my taxi guy for direction , helped me exchange currency , guided me for city tour and made my stay so comfortable. Rooms are clean and so spacious and they make me feel like I am a family member . This place is highly recommended.

When I arrive at the location with a snapp I booked for myself after playing the snapp the correct amount as requested oj the snapp app, the girlfriend of the host said to me to pay the snapp driver more because they do not make a lot of money. How is that my business, I have paid the requested amount as on snapp, I was disappointed to hear her say such.
I had no Privacy as a lady saying in the room, they went into my room many Times when I was not ar home without my Permission.Lastly they had other guest who booked other rooms, the host kept asking me to on the air conditioning because the air conditioning my room controls all conditioning the other rooms and the rest of the house, I had to sleep with air conditioning on even when I was cold and did not want the air conditioning on. It felt like slavery, where i paid for a room but I do not have the choice of leaving the air conditioning off.
Other than that the boyfriend was helpful but staying here with how pricey it was, was not worth the price.

Excellent! A nice, modern, helpful and kind couple. I felt I was much more a friend of them than just a guest.

Amazing!! Can’t ask for a better place to stay in Tehran. Esi and Eli (and also Edu) are super friendly and helpful! I learned a bit of Setar and Tanbour from Esi too - he’s an amazing artist. They also invited me for dinner and the house recipe for rice is just awesome (but Esi said he does not disclose that haha). I would recommend to everyone if they ever come to Tehran and wanted a homestay that really gets you to know the country, you will know about the politics, music to just daily life things!

I don't feel comfortable speaking as a guest of Esi and Eli. I don't feel like I was their guest. During the period of my stay, the house was not theirs: it was ours; the home wasn't theirs: it was ours. Never, in my extensive hosting experience, have I had such cooperative, generous, friendly hosts. There is no exaggeration in what I am about to say: they are in my heart forever. I intend to return to Iran at the end of the year to see them again.
What to say about the apartment? Excellent, with everything we needed, in a spectacular location.
Anyway, I thank life for the opportunity it gave me to meet a brilliant couple, old enough to be my children, but who are, from now on, friends who are on the left side of my chest.Host reply

I do not wonder why they have best reviews, they are like a Family, Eli & Esy, you’ll never feel that you are not in your own home, or maybe better then our own home . I can say Home away from home, I got lots of love & care from them! Believe me you’ll never regret it, Never! ( All of the Iranian peoples are very lovely kind hearted peoples ) World must see by themselves.

Not only is Esi a warm and welcoming host, he is a fountain of knowledge about all things Iranian and a very talented and creative artist, strongly supported by his lovely wife Eli. So, my 4 night stay included plenty of animated discussion, laughter and the generous sharing of their personalities, Iranian hospitality at its most stimulating.
Highly recommended, an essential part of your visit to Iran.Host reply
