Akin is a great host and speak english. He is very responsive to any of my questions. He recommended places to visit in Istanbul. Also when he is free, he shows me around and we taste typical turkish food.
The flat is exactly as describe in the photos. Quiet place and you will be submerge in typical turkish district. Within 5 min walk to bus/metro station and small grocery shops. Within 10 to 15 min walk to shopping centres. Good atmosphere of food bazaar every Saturday's.
Well heated in winter, kitchen with all you need for cooking and good WiFi speed (note: intermittent connection problem due to network maintenance or during peak hour).
I would stay again in future visit.
Thank you very much Akin for your hospitality!
