Mixed experience
At first we tried canceling our stay. Vrbo was not the agency it was originally listed through, so vrbo couldn't help. Missafir, the turkish agency was mostly unresponsive, untill I decided to not cancel anyway, as I was not sure I would het my money back. So we went, Balat is a great place to stay, colourful and lively. When we arrived, we discovered that the host apparently forgot or chose not to turn the heat on, so the first 24 hours we had walk around in our jackets and sleep with our clothes on. I managed to turn on the boiler for the heating system, and when that was in order, the place was fine. The toilet on the bottom floor stank of sewer though, and filling wash, shower and toiletbowl with water did not help. We closed the door and one of our kids slept down in the basement - and was kind of ok doing it - it only stank a little.. The apartment was mostly fine, the beds were not very good. We really recommend staying in Balat, but this apartment is not really recommendable.
