We enjoyed our stay at Ugur's place and would recommend it. It was exactly as the pictures showed, very liveable space. The location was excellent as it was a short walk to Taksim Square where there is much to do. We felt very safe walking around at all hours, people were very friendly and helpful. Although because it is in a "real" neighborhood there was a couple of times it got a bit noisy overnight. But we were there during Ramadan so attribute it to that. We like being part of local experience which airbnb provides. Ugur was a good host checking on us a few times to make sure our needs were met. He provided good directions to get to his location & met us to give us keys and answer questions. We would stay there again if we travel to Istanbul in the future. We wish him all good things.
