My husband and I travelled to Istanbul Turkey in June, we stayed at Raven for one night. The room was very modern and clean. The only drawback is that there are a-lot of stairs to climb. Also there are political meetings held usually on Saturdays, they closed down the entire Istiklal, Taksim area from 5pm to 10pm and we were not able to go into our airbnb. Even those who had a flight were not allowed to enter to pick up their luggages. If you are staying in the area besides the weekend, then it is a good place to stay. I definitely recommend the airbnb if you are ready to climb stairs.
