My wife and I, are looking forward to hosting you in our home. The location of the house is the best you can find in the old town of Shiraz. The bazaar is just a stone's throw from home and there are some historical sights that you can visit that are within walking distance.
Mine is a traditional house with very "comfy" beds for a good night's sleep after you have been out and about. The courtyard is designed with the best traditional form where guests can enjoy free breakfast on wooden benches.
If you are looking to visit Persepolis and Necropolis, I can offer you a guided tour for a reasonable price. Providing "funny and nice "situation and times in order to be familiar with Iranian lifestyle and culture
From Shiraz, if you want to plan a day trip, just visit Ghalat. It is absolutely worth going there!!!. This village is located 36 kilometers far from Shiraz in the north-west of the city.
It takes 42 minutes to go from Shiraz to Ghalat by car. if you want to arrange a taxi, it will cost around 10€ return.
There are a bus, metro, and a train station close by.
I am happy to provide advise and help in anything I can to make your stay worthwhile. We love sharing our culture with our guests and of course, we are happy to learn as much as we can from our guests too.

The reason for our success is no secret. It comes down to one single principle that transcends time and geography, religion and culture. It’s the Golden Rule – the simple idea that if you treat people well, the way you would like to be treated, they will do the same.
Mehdi my dear thank you for your time and efforts, it would really be a great to meet you again, thanks for giving me the chance to expand my knowledge regarding Iranian culture,,,,

Unfortunately because of Corona I couldn't travel to Shiraz any more in April 2020. But the online contact and communication with Mehdi was very kind, helpful and supportive. I m looking forward to stay in his home when I can go to Shiraz to another time this or next year. Kheili mamnoon Mehdi, movazebe khodet bash!!

This guest house is very well located (near the metro station and the main street, and all monuments in Shiraz are very close from here); the rooms have enough space and you can also enjoy your time under the orange tree in the yard :) Mehdi was very helpful and communicative, he knows historical background of everything in Shiraz and Persepolis and about modern Iran too. He wilingly helped us with everything we needed; he was really thinking how to make our visit the best possible. So spending three days in Mehdi’s house was so amazing and became one of the reason why we love Iran even more! Thank you again, Mehdi! :)

If you want to have a perfect stay with amazing people don't waste your time looking elsewhere. Mehdi and Mohamed were very friendly and welcoming. Thanks to them we had an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this place !

Ne prenez pas trop d'initiatives quand Mehdi est dans ses murs, ça pourrait le vexer. Car il se fait un devoir d'être à votre service !
Et quand il est parti travailler, vous disposez d'un appartement fort agréable et d'un jardinet où il fait bon se reposer.
Excursion à Persepolis et autres balades en option à prix imbattable.
Lui aussi fait partie de ceux qui m'ont amené à programmer un nouveau voyage en Iran.October 2019
Mehdi is a very nice host. The location is very central, you can walk to the center of Shiraz and the bazar. I recommend Mehdi and his house.
