Bermall’s flat is truly in the heart of istanbul. She was very forthcoming and helped us out. The rooms are nice and have their own bathrooms. If you are very sensible to street noise and don’t plan on going out on the weekends to experience istanbul’s night life you should ask for the back room but in the beginning of the week there is no problem even though it is in a lively street. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Bermall’s and felt at home! I would definitely recommend staying with her if you are a open minded young person travelling on a budget!
