A wonderful place to stay in the heart of Balat. Özlem is a very kind and open host who communicates very swiftly. The flat itself is comfortable for a week’s stay and has good wifi, Netflix and a basic kitchen. It is on a bustling street but the the noise is not too bad at all. The owners have a cafe around the corner that has the best Sunday breakfast in Istanbul complete with live Cuban music. A great place to stay and highly recommended.
