Location is real authentic and we found save, even walking into deeper Fatih. Emil House is perfectly renovated, corridor smells of fresh wood, Mina room was well furnished, all given to have a great rest after a long discovery day. Beakfast in a small breakfast room was delicious, we could talk to Dogan and Burcu, get tips and advises and even unbeatable support where to buy induction turkish tea (Caydanlik) making set :)
Balat and Emil House was the best decision to stay at Istanbul. A hidden treasure at a pictureous and exciting neighbourhood. We will come back, it was not enough :)
