The apartment was amazing. We couldn't get enough of the beautiful view. Ra was an exceptional host - very friendly, quick to respond to all our queries and even helped us get airport transfers organized. The apartment is very conveniently located 15 mins away from Taksim and has supermarkets and restaurants all in walking distance. The only thing I'd like to mention is that the apartment is in a hilly neighborhood so if you are traveling with elderly people, walking to and from Taksim square can be very tiring. That being said, we were able to find cabs quite easily to get around. All in all, a wonderful experience and would definitely come back to stay.
