We really enjoyed the location. Balat one of the most hilarious regions of Istanbul. If u wanna try real Turkey, enjoy great mornings with friendly people outside, walk around and being surprised by the architecture - it's definitely ur choice. Host was a really kind and helpful person, she let us move out little bit later and provide the info.
Flat is super small, but for 2-3 person, who travelling all day long it's enough.
Netflix is a great plus, especially when the weather is rainy)
