I Stayed at Guiseppe's Balat 2 and 3 for a week and here is an honest review about Balat 2:
The place is just like the pictures, the authentic design, colorful displays and attention to details. The bathtub is perfect for relaxing and can fit 2 easily. hot water is available at all times. The bathroom is a bit small but not a big deal. The living room is spacious and has 2 big windows. the bedroom also has a big window. the kitchenette is small and convenient for the place and for a getaway.
It is worth mentioning that when you use the hot tub, you need to empty it gradually and then take a shower, not to do both at the same time; the bathroom might flow water out.
The Studio does not have AC nor a fan. I found it hot in day time but cool in night time.
Concerning Transportation to and from the studio, you can check my first review about Balat 3 which is more detailed.
Balat 2 has a flying ant issue: while there at night, red ants are flying in the apartment and they bite. I called Ugur and told him about it and asked him whether Mustapha can spray the room while am out. I went home to find mustapha waiting for me with a spray bottle of RAID. Ugur said I can spray it around the windows and whenever I see an ant, although I told him I need it to be solved before I come back. I was covered with ant bites and with a sensitive skin I had red patches all over my legs. When I called Ugur explaining the situation, I told him my review wouldn't be that good after this incident, he replied "well I would put a bad review about you too" This was totally rude, I was clarifying that the apartment had an ant issue which he did not notify me about nor solved it before, the excuse he gave me is "whenever I travel I encounter places with insects as well" which I said is absurd to use as an excuse. This incident was TOTALLY RUDE especially after saying I will put a bad review about you too where I didn't do anything wrong to him.
The last day, Mustapha told me I can leave at 12 pm then the next day knocked at my door at 10 am, woke me up and told me that he needs to clean the room right now. I had to pack and leave in 30 minutes.
