Family-friendly vacation rentals in Şamlar

We loved our staying how good was Faras to my family and Matin they all nice people and respectfully they responded to our request, we loved our stay.definitely recommend it.

On the booking you may see many pictures of a very modern apartment, some of the pictures show large modern areas but this is slightly misleading. The pictures are of every room available, in the building and are not a reflection of what you are booking privately entirely. This caused some confusion for me when I arrived. The apartment does have a Hamam which was so much fun! Malik is a very friendly and hospitable host. There is somebody at reception 24 hours and they are always more than happy to help you with directions. Advice and suggestions all being very fair and without bias. Our apartment faced the road on the hill which is constantly blocked with traffic even through the night cars beep at each other constantly. Light sleepers may need to bring some earplugs with them. I had to wear my earphones to block out the noise a little bit. We had trouble with the electric box making a loud humming noise on the last night which kept us awake. The bathroom has seen better days.

A very nice and cozy apartment with everything you might need. It’s close the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, the reception offers a lovely bonus—tea, coffee and small snacks. The staff is helpful and friendly. Thank you 🤗

이스탄불에 다시 오면 또 묵고 싶습니다 감사합니다:)

Vielen lieben Dank Ali! Es hat alles super gepasst, wir kommen gerne wieder!

This was an excellent find. We visited from America and were a little worries about finding our way around but Yusef offered to assist in the transfer to and from the airport. The manager, Erol, and the team, Malik and Emir, were all so great. They helped us find places to experience, to eat, to avoid, and showed extreme hospitality towards us the whole time. I would absolutely recommend this place! It’s safe, staffed 24/7, and so cute and quaint in a great location! Thank you!! I sure hope we’ll be back in the future!!

I had an amazing stay! The host was incredibly welcoming and the place is fantastic—just a short walk from the Grand Bazaar. The neighborhood is super friendly, and I loved chatting with the locals. Don’t miss checking out Deco Turca and Cashmere by Ruby for some unique souvenirs. Highly recommend this spot!

El alojamiento era según la descripción del anuncio. Estaba limpio y ordenado y nos dieron recomendaciones para visitar y restaurante cerca del alojamiento Está muy bien situado , a 10 minutos andando de los museos más visitados Volveríamos a repetir

The place was fantastic! Great location, very cozy, conveniently located, close to all that Balat has to offer. Ișil, was amazing 👏! she met us on the first day, did a detailed walk through of the space, showed us around the neighborhood, and was available for any of our questions while we stayed at her gorgeous space. she even helped us with unstanding local transportation. Would absolutely stay again. Communication was second to none. Thank you, thank you!

Квартира красивая, соответствует описанию, хорошее расположение. Из незначительных минусов: диван в пятнах, и не хватило розеток (у кровати только с одной стороны). Все остальное отлично. Не сразу удалось найти дом (по адресу в картах показывал другой дом), но хозяин оперативно ответил и был на связи.

Все отлично.В квартире есть газовая плита ,отопление и всё необходимое для приготовления еды. Снимали это жильё второй раз и если будем лететь в Стамбул ещё,то только это жильё. Рядом транспортная развязка,добраться куда-то не составляет никакого труда.

Im ersten Moment war ich etwas enttäuscht, weil das Zimmer kleiner ist als es durch die Weitwinkelaufnahme in der Annonce erscheint. Das war aber schnell vergessen, weil das Zimmer trotzdem gemütlich und sauber ist, Filiz unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit, die Gegend sehr ruhig und trotzdem nah an tollen Restaurants und den Höhepunkten des historischen Istanbuls. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt und sollten wir nochmals nach Istanbul reisen, würden wir ganz sicher wieder bei Filiz anfragen.

Myself and two friends had an amazing time staying at Taylans place in April. Really liked the decor of the place. Absolutely loved being on the balcony. We accidentally locked the key in the apartment and Taylan responded immediately and sorted the situation out. Also a great location in the heart of beyoğlu. Thank you for having us Taylan!

Home away from home, great hosts !

This is the perfect spot for a city break to Istanbul, perfectly located by Galata Tower and offering beautiful views over the tower. While a studio, the apartment feels spacious and has a comfortable double bed, sofa, two dining tables, kitchen area and a bathroom with shower (super strong water pressure which was a lovely surprise!). Eyo and his co-host Ali were extremely helpful and responsive in the run up to our stay, providing recommendations and offering to book tours for us if we'd like. Check in was simple - Eyo or Ali will meet you at the apartment to provide the keys. Really great value for money and would recommend this apartment to anyone. I really recommend Galata as an area - you are in walking distance to so many sights (10/15min walk down to Galata Bridge, from which you enter Sultanahmet).

Ozkan, it was a pleasure to stay at Your studio. Balat is truly amazing and vivid, hippie and oldfashioned, quiet and noisy at the same time. Our visit will be in our memories for a long time, and we surely will come back. We felt in love with turkish hospitality and kidness and we wish to explore more&more. Thank You and hope to see You one day! Prace&love Ola&Piotr

Great stay. The apartment was exactly what we needed for 3 people, clean, well equipped and had all the amenities we were looking for. The apartment was as described, heating was even turned on for our arrival which was a nice touch! Communication all the way through was fantastic. The only thing I would mention about the location is that it is lively outside. And the pool was a bit cold in the mornings. Apart from that it was perfect, would stay again!

Ev görsellerden cok daha güzeldi,çok güzel bir deneyim geçirdik. Fazlasıyla büyük bir ev,büyük arkadaş grupları veya aile ile konaklanabilmek icin gerçekten çok idealdi. İnanılmaz güzel bir manzara vardı. Konum çok rahat bulunabilecek bi yerdeydi. Huzurlu sessiz bir ortam sunuyordu. Ev sahibi Yavuz bey her konuda çok yardımcı oldu,esneklik sağladı. Hızlı bir şekilde tüm sorularımız cevaplandı. Çok teşekkür ederiz.

Всичко беше добре, мястото е близо до площада Таксим и до спиркапза градския транспорт. Имаше всички необходими уреди в кухнята. Единственото, което не ми хареса е че мебелите бяха захабени и имаха петна. Едно освежаване на апартамента би било добре. Иначе всичко друго беше идеално. Комуникацията с хоста беше изключително лесна.

It was a great stay. The place is unique and calming. The host is very helpful and understanding. You have help 24/7 and the nature and the place is unique. We totally recommend.

I felt like I was staying at home immediately. Amazing view and location far away from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. House was well stocked for everyday living, cooking utensils, dinnerware, towels etc. The host Behçet Bey is quick to respond and inform of any updates and him and his daughter are happy to help point you out to the best restaurants or grocery stores in town.

Çok temiz bir ev güzel bir manzarası da var. Sadece giderken alışverişlerinizi tam yapmanız önemli ada merkezine yürüyüş mesafesi birazcık fazla.

I liked the house , the view , the pool , not very far from island center you can walk or reach it by bus , the kitchen stuff is limited, very peaceful very quiet , the pool is often empty, you feel free I did not feel disturbed or interfered by the hotel owners during my visit , they helped us with the grill stuff and to transfer our bags from their office to the house . And the house was well clean , equipped , I highly recommend it ✅✅✅
