The place is very well located, just a few minutes away from the main means of transport. In addition, it is about 30-60 min away of the main sights of Istanbul, such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Galata Tower, etc. Ali is very friendly, gave us some recommendations of places and restaurants to visit, where we even shared a couple of meals together. As for the place itself, the only thing I would recommend improving is the bathroom conditions, but Ali told me he would do it soon. For those allergic to animals, it is good to mention that there is a dog in the apartment, although if you are not allergic, he is very charming and friendly.
