Shinnosuke is a kind and helpful host. He replied quickly to all of my inquiries and everything went smoothly. He made me feel welcome from the minute I got off the bus, as he picked me up from the bus station. The apartment is lovely: spacious, beautiful and looks even better than in the photos :-) It has everything one needs and the neighbourhood is pretty central (a couple of minutes to Istiklal, literally), but is still very quiet at night. Very recommended.
