A cozy and inviting apartment tucked into a cozy and convenient neighborhood just 10 minutes by scooter (20 minutes by taxi) from Sultanahmet and The Hagia Sophia. Bulut was very responsive and flexible with my requests and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. The bedroom has a fantastic view of the water and Galata tower and about half of Istanbul! No AC but with the with the windows wide open and the fan running it was quite comfortable at night. I’d definitely stay here again if I wanted to come back to Balat, which is a great eclectic and not-too-crowded neighborhood to work and relax in.
