Vacation rentals with lake access in Bosphorus

Apartment is exactly as described in Airbnb. Everything is very clean. And confortable. Balat is very picturesque district. Unbelievable. Me and my friends felt very safe. Near the house is sinagoga, 24 hours every day you may see police car close to it. You may eat, drink, or buy everything in a small markets very close to apartment. Tram and bus station is also very close...few minutes (5-10) Only one thing confusing me and my friends...when you get address you wouldn't see word "Balat", you will see Ayvansaray. If you used tram you have to go in/out in Balat! Not Ayvansaray. If you you use taxi i could recommend Balat Beauty Boutige house very close to apartment. They officially arranged transfer to airport. If i go again i will choose this apartment. Host is very kind and attentive to his guests.

Fantastic place to stay in Istambul! it's close to everything (restaurant,shop, public communication,fresh juice shop:)..about host I will only tell that during my travels I wish myself to have at least half good host as Can is. I will recommend this place to everyone. I don't even tell that house is clean, wifi is strong and house have all equipment.

Server is very nice, they gave us tips for visiting around the listing and interesting information about the history of the neighborhood. The accommodation is very well located, this neighborhood is really very nice. Public transportation is very close to visit other areas of Istanbul. The view from the place is really beautiful. This was a very pleasant stay. Thank you.

- Really enjoyed staying in Uskudar, which does not have so many tourists, while providing a wonderful view on all Istanbul and lots of restaurants. Selman's apartment was in my opinion perfectly placed, near to transportations and restaurants, while being perfectly quiet (ofc bring earplugs for the night prayer calls of the mosques, but I think you can't avoid them in all Istanbul). - The apartment itself was completely equipped and worked perfectly for us. - Selman was really proactive in helping us, for the check-in, but also every other day. He gave us useful advice and much more. He was really committed to give us the best possible experience of his city!

Hello, I would like to thank Mr. Fatih and friends for the really friendly hospitality and for making me feel at home

Thanks for everything

Mr. Furkan is a well-intentioned friend. He answered every question with patience, as if he was like a friend I had known for years. Your home was nice and calm. In addition to being calm, the transportation was very convenient. There was only a little slope, but there are already seven hills in most places in Istanbul. Thank you Furkan friend.

Amazing view, great location, friendly and helpful host. Teşekkürler Harun.

This ground floor apartment ( 1st floor for we Americans) was perfect for my stay. This place was within minutes walking to all the cafes, restaurants and shops. And to the side of the apartment is where everyone goes to take pictures of all the beautiful popular colorful buildings that make Balat so iconic. They film many Turkish Tv Series and films in the area for its old charm. The host was amazing. She gave a me a tour of the village and she definitely knows her history and Balat very well. She will give you the best recommendations of places to eat and coffee shops that serve worldwide award winning coffees. As a coffee lover I appreciated that. The place is a very beautiful unique historical apartment building. Very cozy place for me (solo traveler) to stay. If and when I return to istanbul I will definitely stay at this building again. Next time I want to try the apartment at the very top floor :-).
