Mehmet's place was really cozy, we kept saying that we could actually live there long term! The location is perfect if you want to be in historic Balat - so close to all the restaurants and amazing little coffee shops. It is a great area if you are interested in photography. Mehmet met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment, he was very flexible with check-in/out times and an overall nice person. The kitchen was equipped well enough to prepare meals (although we didn't because of all the great restaurants within walking distance), the bed was comfortable, shower wonderful with plenty of hot water, a small but nice balcony overlooking the lively neighborhood, linens and towels were good quality. The building has a code on the door to get in and it always felt safe. I would definitely stay here again, highly recommend and thanks to Mehmet for the super hospitality!
