As a Japanese guest, I had a very different experience to that described by other guests in their reviews.
First of all, the host does not speak English at all, and he does rely on machine translation completely.
He is not worried about communication discrepancies though machine translation between Turkish and English (or Japanese)is not very reliable.
He did not provide any information at least in machine-English.
I was not briefed about the roof-top and so on unlike other guests suggest.
And I was not even told where he lived. (Initially I believed that he lived in other place as I did not see him, in fact, he lived in the same place and get up late in the morning and return home late at night.)
Instead, he just criticised me fot not being able to take contact from the airport, though access to the internet immediately after arrival is often a challenge for foreign travelers.
In the fisrt night, I could not enter the room for more than 40 minutes in the dark staircase in the middle of the night, as I was not noticed how to use keys.
Kitchen left food waste and smells a lot, host’s boxers left off on the sofa. The room made me want to leave as soon as possible even if it was just for one second.
There occurred a major incident on the last day(I lost my wallet!),
however, he was uncooperative to solve that issue and just seemed annoyed that I was late checking out. He cursed me in Turkish for this and that.
