We had the most fantastic stay at Ram's apartment. It was exactly as pictured - super stylish and every convenience provided. The apartment was spotless and clean and the terrace was a joy both daytime and night. The location is downhill from Istiklal Caddesi but still only a 10 minute walk. At first the area looked very rough but it is totally safe as we walked about a lot at night (3 ladies) The 5 flights of stairs will test your fitness but a good workout after some fab food! It's again only a short walk to the metro station and Ram was super helpful and gave us loads of tips and places to go etc - would definitely recommend
