Vacation rentals with lake access in Kadıköy

I liked this apartment last year so I stayed again for two months. Spacious, nicely decorated top floor flat with access to the roof terrace. Very quite building in the best location in Balat. Easy, short walk to buses and the ferry station. Everything works in the apartment and the marble Turkish bath is luxurious. I especially like the neighborhood because in the immediate area, near the apartment, normal, local people reside. You can experience Turkish culture instead of being in a tourist area. A few blocks away are restaurant, bakeries, grocery stores, etc. Overall, I highly recommend the apartment, the neighborhood and the host. All are superb!

Had a wonderful stay! The location was extremely convenient to all the historic sites (either walkable or via transit) while also being very local. Great artisanal shops and local restaurants in the neighbourhood. Can as a host is very proactive and responsive. He provided us with clear instructions, great recommendations, and answered all our questions. The home was very clean, spacious, and well equipped. Of you're in Istanbul, this is the place to stay!

Thank you Edip for a great stay, the apartment was amazing, felt homely and also in the best location, just a few minutes to Istiklal st. The host was super friendly, can’t wait to go back and stay again

Härlig lägenheten, perfekt för familjen. Väldigt centralt och Sinan trevlig och hjälpsam värd. Ser fram emot att komma tillbaka :)

- 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!

Das Apartment entspricht genau den Bildern – modern eingerichtet und mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf den Bosporus. Durch die großen Fensterfronten fühlt es sich an, als würde man im Wintergarten schlafen – wirklich besonders! Alles war wie beschrieben vorhanden, und Harun war super hilfsbereit, als ich den Schirm auf der Terrasse nicht selbst zusammenbekommen habe. Ich habe mich rundum wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Was man nicht unterschätzen sollte: Der Aufstieg über die vielen Treppen zur Unterkunft. Am besten bringt man einen Rucksack mit – oder ein bisschen Kondition. Nach ein paar Tagen gewöhnt man sich aber daran, und der Ausblick macht wirklich alles wieder wett! Insgesamt aber eine tolle Unterkunft mit großartigem Ausblick – ich komme gerne wieder!

Her şey mükemmeldi! Ev ilandaki gibi tertemiz ve konforluydu. Konum harikaydı, çevrede ihtiyaç duyabileceğimiz her şeye kolayca ulaşabildik. İnternet bağlantısı da gayet hızlı ve sorunsuzdu. Ev sahibi çok ilgili ve yardımseverdi, iletişimimiz hep hızlı ve nazikti. Gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim.

The view of the Bosporus is unbeatable although you have to climb up 4 five flights of stairs. But it’s really worth it. The condo is very cozy and spotless. Within radius of 10 minutes walking distance you can reach tons of restaurants. If you wanna go to blue mosque or Sophia, it takes 5-6 minutes to reach the T1 tram station. The caveat is you have to gown down a steep trail. On the way back it might be a bit laborious

We had a good stay for 2 days with our 4 year old before going on to the coast. If you have kids younger than 4 the spiral staircase on the top floor might be stressful. The house was very clean, has been really thoughtfully renovated and is on a buzzy street with restaurants and cafes (we got takeaway lahmucan from Forno opposite one night). Erkan stood out as a helpful and responsive host.
