The apartment‘s location is great. You can easily explore the Balat area by foot. It‘s a neighborhood of cool coffee spots, antiques stores/auctions, vintage stores, casual restaurants and art — rest of Istanbul is also easily accessible, Fatih is a pretty central city quarter. The apartment was clean & cozy, but the windows are not properly sealed, so the nights were always extremely cold. The funky smell coming from the sink drains should also get fixed. The oven was also dirty, but that can easily be cleaned before the next guests stay over. PCR-Testing for travel was offered to be taken care of by the host. It was super easy, Big Thanks to the host and the healthcare worker from the hospital! :) All in all, this place is worth a visit — especially because it‘s rented out with intention of supporting an amazing cause!
