This apartment provides exactly the kind of experience you are expecting from Airbnb. Located in the middle of the best Istanbul district Kadikoy, it has any kind of shop and restaurant you can think of just outside the door and metro/ferry 10 minutes away by foot. Inside the apartment you will have absolutely everything you could need for a stay of any length. No need to describe it, I'd just say this actually feels like somebody let you stay where he lived, taking most of personal items and leaving all the useful things. :) If I had to find negative points, I would say that the shower equipment needs some maintenance, which is not even close to be something critical. Also the apartment is on the first (ground) floor, which means that you will be aware of everything happening outside when you are in the living room with open window (the bedroom is on the quiet side). On the other hand, we liked being on the first floor due to easy access to the apartment. Overall, this apartment is what you need for your stay in Istanbul, if you are lucky enough to see it available, just book it.
