Ra is a great host who stayed till late in the evening to welcome and take my family through his property. He even provided tips on how to get to Taksim on a quicker route. He is very responsive and makes the effort to answer all your queries. The apartment is as advertised. It does have the best view of the Bosphorus and it is spectacular at night! The house is very clean and had the amenities necessary for a weeks stay, ie washer/dryer, towels and coffee machine.. The place is infant-friendly/safe and came with a crib in one of the bedrooms and has protectors windscreens in addition to the the balcony glass doors, many child locks through the house as well. We would definitely consider Ra house again if we returned to Istanbul! Thanks Ra!
