Holiday rentals with a patio in Esenler

I was very satisfied with the stay, everything was as described, it was one of the rare places I felt like I was in my own home, and I loved the view and the house, and it was in a great location in terms of location

Nilay and Sencer's appartment is very nice, clean and having a local spirit. We were welcomed warmly by Sencer. The tram and bus stops are very close: less than 5 minutes away and you would need 10-15 minutes to reach Galata. If you arrive in Istanbul by car - there's a paid parking nearby that can be used for 15 EUR/24h. We also enjoyed a lot our visit to Sencer's Pizzarotti restaurant, where we had the pleasure to taste his local pizza inventions and have a conversation.

Very nice apartment and clean

I am so thankful to have found this spot! The host are magnificent caring people and the space was clean, well appointed and in a beautiful part of Istanbul. Located above delightful cafe. Elif, Ersin, Benjamin and Beğit thank you so very much for being such wonderful hosts! I look forward to seeing you all again.

We loved our stay at this apartment. Balat was a perfect neighborhood to make as base during our stay in Istanbul. Tons of great restaurants in the area and it was easy to access other parts of the city via bus and tram. Pops Balat and Balat Kahvaltı Evi are two great spots for breakfast and coffee just a short block from the apartment. The apartment was cozy and beautiful and exactly as described and shown in photos (I particularly liked the historical character of the place). Another review noted that kids play outside fairly late, which I noticed as well. Not an issue for me, even as a light-ish sleeper!

A perfect stay for our family, the apartment was comfortable and well-located We had a great stay at the apartment. The ground-floor location was perfect for our family. The apartment was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There’s a lovely park behind the building. Check-in was easy, communication was clear, and the tram station is just a short walk away. Highly recommend!

The location couldn’t be better for exploring Balat! You step out of the building right into the middle of the best street. There’s a coffee shop right below the apartment which opens at 07:00, and the rest of the street comes to life at around 09:30-10:30. Boutiques, mini market, cafes, restaurants, rooftop tea spots, mocktail bars, bbq spots - all just steps away. It is noisy at night with music, people, cats and scooters - so pack earplugs or get some from the pharmacy down the road. The apartment is better in real life than in photos! It’s clean, spacious and the host was excellent. My husband was recovering from surgery so we needed more pillows. We asked the host and they were delivered very quickly. I’ve stayed in many airbnb and this is definitely one of the best. I’d recommend the restaurant right at the end of the street called Ballad - it’s a peaceful oasis amongst the hectic street. Great food and service

Great value and location for our group. Beds were good enough for one night. Hosts were responsive to any and all requests. Hot water in showers and towels were freshness The apartment is spacious, clean, and warm, suitable for a group of 6 on a vacation. The neighborhood is friendly, with various places to eat and small local businesses to buy from. Thank you, it was nice staying

Everything was perfect, the location was super good, very quiet, public transport accessible and close, in general very good, there was a problem which was resolved quickly and quickly... Thank you very much...

Emre's place made an unforgettable memory for us. We were there for about 10 days, the place matched the description and the photos, close to public transportations and He has been very helpful and responded. For example, We needed a baby chair , a baby bed and we found the pans not useful for us. he immediately provided them. Emre was really great and very lovely. Highly recommended.

A great host, very communicative and helpful. The apartment is in a good location, but it's very local. We enjoyed it, but it's not for everyone. The apartment itself matched the description but needs a bit of TLC. The design is a little strange with each room being a self contained unit with its own fridge and sink, and some of the areas are a little worn. Overall a great experience.

Really a great place to stay in Istanbul for families or groups of friends. This house is perfect for its location: shops, tram, restaurants nearby in the pretty quiet area of Balat. Excellent equipment and bedding; Gila was very welcoming, good advice, always available and responsive👍!

Hi friends, I'm calling out to everyone who sees this comment, you can trust without hesitation 😊

We stayed in this place for six days and we had a great time. The house is in an excellent location specially for younger people. The house is as great as it is presented in the pictures and has all the utilities as described.

Apartment is located very close to galata tower. The location is perfect with sunset view from the roof. Lots of restaurants, cafe and bars around. Apartment is located on4th floor and building doesn’t have elevator so a good source of workout. Warm, quiet space with loads of windows. I felt at home. Fully equipped with amenities.

Hands-down, one of the best places I’ve stayed with Airbnb. It was spacious and cozy at the same time. Perfect for a couple or you can be together but also have your own space. Huge bathroom that felt like a wine cave. And fantastic location, short walk to Galata tower, restaurants and the T1

Benny's apartment is a haven of peace close to the famous Istikal Avenue. The accommodation is very well kept, very spacious and corresponds in every way to the photos. Many thanks to Benny for hosting us and for his kindness! We recommend!

Great place. Would book again.

Thank you so much, Tevfik! I had a wonderful 8-day stay at your apartment in Istanbul. The highlight was definitely the stunning view of the Bosporus—it was absolutely breathtaking and made every morning and evening feel special. The apartment is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, which was a perfect escape from the busy city, yet still close to everything I needed. It’s just minutes away from markets and great local restaurants, which made daily errands and dining out super fun and convenient. Inside, everything was modern and new, with all the amenities you’d expect, and described. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic stay in Istanbul! Dr. Katya Vladimirov Professor

Very nice and well looked after apartment, great city views and the host Firat was very helpful whenever he was needed. Look forward to staying at this place again.

The neighbourhood was lovely, and the flat was clean, with all the amenities. Lisa was also a very responsive host!

Great location steps away from Taksim and Istiklal Street. very charming town house that can be divided into two, one bedroom apartments. I had a wonderful stay. Hosts are very responsive and gave great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. thank you!
