Reviews
Agata from Poland (10/10)
Stanbul House was simply a perfect place to stay in Balat, Istanbul. Hosts are extremely thoughtful and have thought of everything – from lovely interior design to little bits and pieces that made us feel welcomed (bottle of wine, coffee and multiple coffee machines, toiletries, first aid kit, veru well thought-through leaflet with guidance and recommendations that helped us instantly to know where the best green grocer is, where to eat, what to do in case of emergency). The apartament was very comfortable for 3 adults (I stayed there with my parents), the rooftop terrace – beautiful. Great value for money + added value of just brilliant, kind and thoughtful hosts.

Anna from New Zealand (10/10)
This beautiful apartment is in such a fantastic location! Balat is so much nicer to stay than other areas, as it really helps you feel like a local. The host, Sencer, went out of his way to help us know where to eat and drink which helped make this a truly memorable experience!!
