The home was indeed beautiful and as described. However, the place is quite small and could be uncomfortable for people who prefer spacious rooms.
The location is excellent and in a quiet neighborhood of Ortakoy. There are decent and affordable restaurants and taxis nearby. It is also quite close to a cruise point for Bosphorus, Kumpir shops etc. Mert was always available and responded to our issues at the earliest. We were here during summer so that place felt quite stuffed up (there is no AC and ventilation is not great especially while sleeping).
Also never had an issue with getting taxis to this place.
