Berna was a fantastic host. Responded always extremely quickly, arranged a pick-up to and from the airport, and even took my call late at night during my stay. The apartment itself is lovely, with a really nice bedroom and bathroom and a very compact kitchen as well as a balcony which we used much more than what we thought we would. The location is very good insofar as it is close to Taksim as well as the tram line taking you to the old town in no time. However the combination of a steep climb (to Taksim) and the apartment being on the 4th floor with no lift means that if you are traveling with people who are not so fit it will reduce your mobility (shouldn’t be a problem for young and fit people though). Overall a great experience in a charming little place with the best airbnb host I’ve had so far.
