I would not recommend this place in the state that I found it. It was dirty. The bathroom had hair and grime all over. My son took a look and said he would not shower in there. The electrics are unsafe. I do not mind simple. But I have a problem with dirty. The host acknowledged the issues and offered to have the place cleaned up. Communicated well, but this was a terrible start to my stay in Istanbul. The best thing I did was to leave and find an alternative immediately. Stayed one night, paid for two. No regrets at all. I had a fantastic time and that was largely because I left this place.
