Apartment was in the Tophane area of Istanbul within about 100m of the Tophane bus and tram stops - it’s location in the Karakoy area was fantastic for access to shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was quite spacious and we felt comfortable and safe. Security was excellent with a code required to enter the building and our apartment. Indeed, the apartment has an electronic lock which opens via a mobile app - this worked fine, although I was worried my phone would go flat and we wouldn’t be able to access the apartment. The bed was fantastic - one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. Although we didn’t see the staff, they were terrific - Gulsah responded quickly to any concern and corrected deficiencies when identified - in our case she supplied a hair dryer when none was available in the apartment.

The apartment had limited cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery etc eg, 3 knives and 3 forks - it was a waste of time having a dishwasher when there is such limited utensils. The tops of the cupboards were incredibly dirty - but this was a high area where most cleaning staff would find it difficult to clean. The floor is concrete tiles and the roof is concrete. This creates some dust and means your feet are constantly dirty. However, disposable slippers are provided. I think the apartment would be cold in winter without additional floor coverings/mats - but in summer it is perfect.

The location of the apartment was perfect for us! The bed was comfortable, the shower had powerful and hot water, the washing machine and dishwasher worked, and the host was very responsive. We found that we needed a few more kitchen items and she brought them to us in a timely fashion. We had a very nice stay in this apartment and would recommend it to others!

At first, we thought there were only see-through curtains, but there are electronic shutters too, so that was great.

A lovely modern apartment in a great location. We stayed in a garden-facing, room which was very quiet. We loved waking up to the sound of doves cooing outside! Loved the shower! Gulsah was very helpful and always responded quickly if we needed anything.

The corridor leading to the apartment was quite dark and the automatic lighting outside the door took a while to come on. There were no hooks to hang your towels on, which was a bit frustrating.

Fantastic location, lovely spacious room, with kitchen, ultra powerful shower, and contemporary design throughout. I have stayed in many hotels and apartments throughout Istanbul and the RA apartments is among the best.

There was some noise from a nearby building site but this is inevitable wherever you stay in Istanbul due to the major developments that are taking place. This wasn’t too much of an issue as we didn’t spend much of the day inside and there was no noise at night.

Very fresh and clean, seems brand new. There’s more than enough storage space no matter how much luggage you bring.

You can hear a lot of street noise from the apartments facing the main road. Also could use more of certain equipment such as hangers, kitchen utensils such as spatulas, tea towels and such. Still, this is a very nice place to stay but next time I would try to book a garden facing apartment instead.

amazing stuff, will help you immediately and also give you everything you need really quick. They are 10/10 in scale.

there are little amount of dishware and in bad condition. But, we got a new one like in a minute, so no bad reviews for this apt. Definately recommend for pleasant and nice stay. Will come back.

Location is perfect, super close to Galata port and Karakoy happening spots and also tram is right there. Floor heating was really good Clean and comfortable bed Wifi working properly

If you have a car ; parking spot of the building is not free and entrance is very small Otherwise it was a great stay , will do it again when I am back to Istanbul

Location is perfect for those wanting to have walks in the center of the city. Apartments are fresh and clean. Staff is friendly and always helpful.

A bit more cutlery (e.g. espresso cups for a coffee machine, some more plates etc.), and hand towels would do good.

Location is really good, the property it’s been well maintained, very modern system to interact with the guests, transportation facilities you will have it just walking 4 min

Cannot complain I’m very happy with the service they provided

Modern and functional. Stay like home. Many amenities, complimentary coffee maker, mineral water and soft drinks. Clean and stylish apartment. Near everything you need. Pleasant stay. Front apartments with some moise from the street.
