Our stay at Balat Appartments was fantastic! Istanbul is an amazing city- the historic old city studio is located on a hill in one of the most non touristic and conservative places of Istanbul ! The terrace is amazing- you can meet your neighbors of the other appartments there.
The people who take care of the house are polite, informative,funny and kind! Make sure that you contact ugur for the exact information of the rooms (some are bigger than others). In total the appartments are perfect for backpackers, couples and friends. We enjoyed our stay!
