Berna's place is perfectly located as it close to Taksim Square. Surely though, the area needs someone who is physically fit to be able to go up the steep hill to reach the Square. Also, just like what the host said.. you will also need to climb 4 floors by stairs to reach the beautiful apartment. Nonetheless, the apartment was clean and as accurate as shown on the photos. Berna spoke to us over the phone when we reached his place and we were welcomed with a small bag of chocolate and a nice cold bottle of water which was a really good touch. This place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as well as the host who is always quick to respond to queries/issues. Once again, thank you for hosting our stay in Istanbul.
