Aren's place is fantastic, besides Aren is very cooperative host, always available for any queries and solving any issues you could have, one of the rare places in Istanbul where you get taxi's very easily, 24 x 7 supermarkets and restaurants quite close, so amazing place for longer stays as well, a huge wall with a projector to watch movies on is a big ad-on if you are a movie buff, with cinema like experience, along with fully equipped place for all your needs.
