The host was very nice. He gave me a fan when it was hot. The location is absolutely beautiful. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Marmaray line train station where it will take you to almost anywhere in Istanbul. Best part is that it's close to the sea as well so perfect for relaxing. There are many restaurants near by ao you will always have plenty to of food to try. Apartment is a good basic economy place. It's a good value for your money.
