My fiancé and I absolutely enjoyed our stay. Samet was an excellent host and communicated fantastically to answer any question. The apartment is small and good for a short stay in Balat. Please note that the stairs in the apartment may be challenging for those with mobility issues. The neighborhood is nice and close to the main Balat area and public transportation. There are two ways to get to the apartment, one way is a steep hill. I certainly recommend staying here and enjoying a cay and simit at a close bakery.
