This was my first stay in Istanbul and I would definitely stay at Berna's apartment again. The location is perfect for nightlife, shopping and atmosphere, and very close to the metro system and the most famous sights in Istanbul. Berna was very helpful and responsive, and went out of her way to help when my luggage went missing on a flight. We stayed in the middle of summer and the air conditioning was wonderful, I slept in the lounge to keep cool. I would highly recommend.
