Istanblue House Inn is not close to the commercial site of Sultana met; but in the residential part of it, the Ahirkapi district, where the daily life still goes on without much affected from the growing tourism activities in the area. Ahirkapi district is also known as the residence of Turkish gypsies that makes it more colorful and rich as a survivor of a glorious cultural heritage. The area is under protection now because of the historical wooden houses slightly remaining in the city. Among these houses is the Istanblue House Inn Wooden House Inn, 'a 130 years-old unique house that has recently restored.'

An important detail distinguishing Istanblue from other wooden houses is that it also contains the remains of an older building made of stone which dates back to the 8th century and is thought to be a secondary building of the Byzantine Palace. The remnants of the historic building are preserved in the interior walls of Istanblue, as are the some of the original Byzantine arches and columns. This makes the Istanblue Wooden House Inn unique. Although some part of the building was unfortunately destroyed, with the consent of the Commission for Ancient Monuments, Istanblue House Inn was rebuilt with its exterior as an exact replica of the original home.
