He's a musician, she's a painter. Together with a cat named Ostad, they're a family.
Available for your leisure is a comfortable room in a century building of midtown Tehran. We live on the premises, but it's a big space and your privacy is important to us.
Our place is best suited for solo travellers, although exceptions can be made be made in some circumstances. We are ideally suited for the artistically-minded, people who enjoy vibrantly coloured walls and the soft sounds of acoustic instruments like the tanbur and robab.
We're always happy to help make your stay memorable, but we don't want to impose on you. As a rule, we allow you to dictate how much/little involvement in your trip you'd like from us.
Arif is a native English speaker and relishes in the opportunity to speak his mother tongue with anyone who'll listen. Parva also speaks English and generally has more interesting things to say :)
Don't hesitate to contact us with your questions. Be sure to ask about our workshop series in music & traditional arts!
