Not only was the flat lovely and tastefully decorated, but Ram was also kind enough to supply us with everything we could possibly need for our stay - water, loads of cutlery and crockery, kitchen, toilet and cleaning supplies. The flat itself was on a quiet and charming residential street, a very short walk to Taksim and there were many public transport stations nearby. It was our first time in Istanbul and Ram was went out of her way to keep in touch with us throughout our stay. I had a great time there and would have extended our stay if scheduled allowed!
