Firstly, Berna is an amazingly helpful
host, always quick to respond to any query. Due to the constantly changing situation with COVID travel restrictions I had to change my arrangements at the last moment and Berna accommodated my request for an additional night which was very much appreciated.
The apartment is clean, well equipped and comfortably furnished. Great location due to its close proximity to Taksim Square but still in a relatively quiet street with lots of local character. The outdoor space was ideal for an evening drink.
Please note that the apartment is up four flights of steep winding staircase and therefore luggage is a challenge. Also the hill up to Taksim is a cardio workout in itself but I would not be put off by these factors and look forward to returning to the apartment on my next trip to Istanbul.
Thank you Berna for your hospitality
