Instagram dream! This gem is located at the top of Balat, the Instagrammer dream of photos. Add to that the apartment is Instagram worthy, mirror selfie perfect, it sounds great, right? BUT THERE IS MORE! The unit matches the pictures, the old ceilings and staris, the vibrant colors and it is well stocked. Daily, the Simit Cart goes by and you get fresh simit to enjoy with your breakfast for 2TL each. The grocery (Bim) is around the corner for coffee, tea and water to keep on hand. The top and bottom of the hill have little restaurants and shops. We loved there was a washing machine and the AC worked very well in both bedrooms.
Ozkan, your host, is so helpful. He arranged transportation to and from the airport for us which was a great help and a big savings over getting it at the airport at arrival. When we had a question he was helpful and had someone nearby if an issue came up.
I do want to note, if you cannot do stairs, this is not a unit for you and getting up and down the hills can be challenging is you have limitations. For us we found it a fun challenge and a fitness bonus!!
I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
