It. Was. Amazing.
If there is an Oscar for the hospitality somewhere in the world - Mehmet definitely deserves it. He is a great host, very helpful and kind. It was a big pleasure to meet him.
Everything was brilliant, the apartment is very cosy, beautifully decorated and safe. We fell in love with Balat - very authentic and peaceful part of the city, beautifully located and filling you with a feeling of living history.
There is a lovely cafe just the next door, where you can have a brilliant breakfast, and plenty of them in 5 minutes walking.
If you want to experience real and at the same time cosy and relaxing Istanbul - this is a place for you.
