Berna's apartment is very well located, in a beautiful neighborhood in the new part of Istanbul. Do keep in mind that this part of the city requires a lot stair climbing. Very close to Taksim square, which is an advantage when arriving and departing to the airport. About 600 meters away is the T1 streetcar, which connects the new city with the old one. Berna was very friendly and answered all our messages. Even when I got food poisoning from something I ate he helped us get medical attention. Top!
