We booked the house for 16 people,4 nights ,to attend a wedding. We had an amazing stay! It was the best place in Istanbul for big groups. House was clean, tidy, welcoming well stocked with cutllery, glasses, pots for big groups, heating was on and was ideal from first floor to the last room upstairs, water was always hot for showers. We love vintage, eclectic look and the house is furnished and renovated with style and with nice elegant details. It has a small garden to enjoy your morning coffee The location is brilliant, you have everything you need from supermarkets, bakery, cafe, restaurants. Balat is beautiful and you can have a great shopping experience in great prices. On Tuesday there is a bazaar, where you can get local products. Zekiye ,our hostess was amazing. She would reply within literally seconds.We had a lovely trip, and we would def choose the same place again. We loved our stay & would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a good base while exploring İstanbul!
