We had a great stay at Afşin's place. We were in Istanbul for an event and so we stayed for a week. The place is not air conditioned, but was totally ok because there is a nice breeze that flows through the unit as it is on the 4th floor. We spent a lot of time laying in bed with the windows open just listening to the sounds of the city. Afşin was extremely accommodating, allowing us to check in early and to store our bags in the unit after the check out time when we had a later flight. He also provided great local recommendations. We would absolutely recommend his place to other travelers and look forward to staying here again!
