The communications with Rana were great and their recommendation booklet was super helpful to explore the beautiful and trendy neighborhood. We felt central to everything especially with the tram stop right down the hill (I say hill because it is definitely a hike if you're walking to the apartment! No taxis would take us all the way down the street because it dead ends right past the house about 200m straight downhill from the main intersection.. eek! We were fine with this, but lugging our heavy bags up the hill on the way out to meet a taxi for the airport was certainly a bit of a workout :P ). We were working remotely from Istanbul and the wifi worked great for those interested in that fact! The views of course are SPECTACULAR, but the apartment itself is just a touch "less" than the picture would have you imagine. This does not necessarily take away from the many pros, but hopefully serves as a community guide for anyone evaluating cost versus benefit to other places in the area :)
