I didn't expect much from Kıvanç's place except a cheap place to spend a month, but he is an excellent, extremely attentive host. While there were some initial problems owing in part to his apartment having been very new at the time, he was quick to attend to any complaint I may have had and to correct any issue. The beds are comfortable and the space is very clean. It's not a five star hotel, but you could forget that with how eager he can be to clean and cater to your needs. The flat is a bit barren for now, but we were talking about ways he could brighten up the space and I'm sure that it'll soon be excellent in that regard as well. But when it comes to the fundamental needs of an Airbnb apartment, there's certainly not a better value to find in Istanbul.
