We had a lovely stay at the loft in Balat! Balat is a cute neighbourhood a little away from the hustle and bustle of Taksim, Beyoğlu and the likes. It’s still upcoming and has more residential houses than bars, cafes etc. Especially nice bars to enjoy a drink are very rare. Keep that in mind if you would like to have some in walking distance. Food wise it is great though, as it has great street food options at a lower fare than the earlier mentioned areas.
The loft itself is very nicely done up and has everything one needs! The only drawback was that (probably only during the winter / colder months) quite a bit of condense water drips on the terrace in the night. That made it not 100% usable during the day as the bean bags would get spoiled being placed on a wet surface. If a solution can be found for this, the place would be perfect for a lovely getaway in Istanbul! We would definitely visit again! Thank you
