Nice place for a few days to explore the old district Balat
The host is a young and pleasant couple, who was very helpful and friendly. Guys did the best to guide us and provide everything we need.
The flat is clean and good looking, has nearly all the items for a living. The downsides of the apartment are the tiny size and the loud neighborhood of Balat district.
So if you want to stay in Balat for several days to explore the area, this is an excellent choice. The apartment within walking distance to all Balat spots, cute cafe shops, and restaurants. Here you'll feel the unique atmosphere of the old city. But keep in mind that getting to other Istanbul's districts will take considerable time.
If you are looking the stay for a more extended period as we did, I'll not recommend it. We rented it for one month, but check out early.
As I said, the apartment is small and has only one window. So to have fresh air you have to leave the window opened all the time. But still, it isn't easy to ventilate the room. Of course, all noise from the street will hear inside. I'll not call the area the quiet a neighborhood. Istanbul is the huge crowded city, but this area is the quintessence of it. And even the night time will full of noise. We had a problem with sleeping here.
