"One of the nice buildings left in Mashhad. Beautifully restored, a pleasant garden in the courtyard. A handycraft store in the garden sells artwork from artists that have small workshops in the main building. It's more than just tourist souvenirs, they are really good artists."

"There is a beautiful rehabilitated house in the Bazar with nice architecture. It is located in Koveitiha alley in Bazar and you have to pay for entrance. Some part of this house is open to visit and some others are under rehabilitation. All in all I suppose it is worth to visit."
