Murat was a very helpful and responsive host. He was able to organize an airport transfer for us and even came to fix the hot water at 11:30 pm when it went out. The apartment is in a great location, and with that comes some amount of noise. We brought earplugs and had no trouble sleeping. There were some issues with cleanliness, in particular the sheets on one of the beds did not appear to have been washed, but overall for the money, this was a good choice for our stay in Istanbul!
