I had a very enjoyable stay in this loft suite for two weeks in Balata, the historical area of Istanbul. The suite is best described as “cute”. It is quiet and comfortable with a wonderful balcony and view. Though it is a little small if more than one person is staying here for an extended time, it was great for me as a solo traveller. It is on the top floor which means it is quiet but it also means a lot of stairs. However, well worth it. Burcu, the hostess, is fantastic, helpful and responsive. Went so far as to give me a short tour of the neighbourhood to point out a few choice restaurants and coffee places. Also, it is a short walk to a new metro line which will be connected to the rest of the city soon. When completed the whole city will be minutes away. I can very much recommend staying here.
