Samet's place was fantastic!! It was in a PERFECT location, very clean, and had everything you would need throughout your stay, not to mention how convenient it was to have several restaurants and markets right outside of the place. My friend landed at 5 am and Samet allowed her to leave her luggage at his hotel (right next door) and also allowed an earlier check-in. We were given very clear check-in instructions, and check-out was just as easy. I would highly recommend Samet's place if you're in Istanbul :)
