My partner and I stayed at Emil house for a week in May and we loved it. The location is amazing and we were very glad to discover a less known part of Istanbul which is at the same time so vibrant but with a local and less touristy feel. We split our stay between the Mina room and then moved up to the Lotus suite - the view from the latter is stunning and it was great to be able to chill out on the balcony after long days of walking.
Everything is brand new and lovely. We were treated with lots of care and delicious breakfasts every morning. Highly recommend this place, and staying in Balat in general, it is an up and coming neighbourhood that provides diverse but calmer way to explore the intense city that Istanbul is! Thank you so much once again!
