My friends and I had a lovely stay at Ali & Argen's. It is in the perfect neighborhood/location if you are interested in seeing the old parts of the city. We walked most places, but there is plenty of public transport around. We never met our hosts, but communication was good with fast responses. We used the transportation Ali set up to and from the airport and were grateful for the ease of not having to do it ourselves. Our main complaint was the check in process. A friend of the hosts was there to meet us, but the whole process was very rushed and one set of keys we were given didn't work. Also we weren't given any information about wifi, which left us stranded for about an hour while we tried to figure it out ourselves as we had no way to contact the host. There are only two remotes for the three AC units, which wasn't a huge deal, but also confused us at first. We didn't use the kitchen to cook, so can't speak to what was available. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay again.
A few food & drink recommendations we really enjoyed: Turgut Kebab (we went multiple times), Loti Cafe & Rooftop Lounge (for drinks and their unique iced arguila/hookah was so good & so fun), and Guvenc Konyali had such good lamb (more of a local place vs a tourist spot).
