We had a wonderful time at Berna's apartment....just a short walk from Taksim Square and a thousand great restaurants and shops.
The AC was wonderful and the comfortable beds were amazing!
Be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs to the flat and a rather steep few blocks to the bustling streets of the new district of Istanbul, but if this 68 year old traveller can do it, it's well worth the comforts of the apartment.
Great communication with Berna prior to and during our stay. Thoughtful surprises on our arrival, and Berna did anything and everything to make our stay a pleasant one.
(Just a side note, the little barber shop just to the left at the top of the hill was amazing! A sweet little man with a shaving service you will NEVER forget.)
Thank you Berna, for a pleasant and memorable stay.
