I have stayed in Balat every time I come to Istanbul and this space is in an excellent location and is perfect for multiple people traveling together. Three or four people will fit very comfortably in this apartment and it is close to all of the best cafes in Balat and close to the bus that can take you anywhere in Istanbul. Mehmet and his family were very kind and lent us cooking utensils and shared their food with us! I would absolutely stay here again.
