Isik is a great host, he approve my bookings quickly & also prompt to reply my messages. He is also helpful even when i change my check in time from late night to early afternoon. He even speak to my taxi driver by phone to navigate the way from the airport. After Isik gave instruction, the taxi driver really stop at the exact correct place! So it was really helpful.
The downside was, some furniture is really old and too worn out. Especially the carpet that looks rather dirty. Also the air conditioner is broken. It's still usable and cold but there are waters dripping from the AC. Couple of times it even sprays water along with the wind. At my last day of stay the AC didn't even blow wind at all. Fortunately, i already told Isik and he probably would fix it.
