We really enjoyed our stay at Petra, Ogul the host was easy to get hold of and very helpful even late at night and early in the morning. When the shower drain blocked there was someone there to fix it within five minutes. The apartment is clean and well appointed, the bed is comfortable and the space is light and comfortable.

We asked for an iron as we were attending a wedding and there was a board and iron available but the ironing board would benefit from a cover. The television didn't work but this wasn't high on our list of priorities. This is easily made up for by the apartment's location.

The location is fantastic, a short walk to Taksim Square through the bustling and lively streets of Taksim, amazing shops and bars and restaurants everywhere. We went out for a short walk in the early evening and didn't come home until the early hours!

We loved the fact that it felt like we were part of the neighbourhood. A fantastic street market on the Sunday with amazing fruit and vegetables, friendly shop owners, and life all around.

In short, it felt like a little home away from home. Perfect for us, we hope to come back.
