Murat's apartment at Akatlar was very cozy located at a private and quite neighborhood, but yet close to everything. it's in a peaceful project with your own parking space, if you happen to drive, it's a big plus for Istanbul.
Murat is a rightful superhost which we felt throughout our stay. He gave a brand new Electric oven, but it wasn't helpful for heating up our children's foods. When we told him this, within few hours he got us a brand new microwave oven!
When we told him about some fixtures fixing like lights and curtain rail, he almost immediately sorted it out.
The utensils at kitchen were of high quality, mostly from IKEA. The sofa-bed in the living room was very cozy.
On the improvement end, I would suggest the host to provide hot water in the kitchen tap, although dishwasher is there but it will be very convenient to have that too. Also, giving some initial toiletries in the toilet would be great.
In short, our whole stay was a pleasant and a memorable one.
