We were SO fortunate to have experienced Berke Style hospitality Thank you Yesim and Ahmet
Pros:

Before we even arrived I had a feeling that this was going to be special. It had all the excitement of an Istanbul stay, blended with the feeling of being safe and welcome. The location is perfect for easy walking access to major attractions, and yet tucked away for restful quiet. Lovely restaurants nearby. And a great breakfast to start your day. The owners are so sensitive to their guests needs, and we were constantly surprised by their over and above real kindness. It was hard to leave them, but a treasured memory forever.

Cons:

NOTHING

Come in famiglia!
Pros:

"Famiglia!"
Questa è la parola che meglio rappresenta il Berk Guest House - Grandma's House.
Posizione invidiabile a soli 5 minuti di orologio a piedi da Santa Sofia e la Moschea Blu, piccolo e accogliente, ascensore, camere confortevoli per metratura, i proprietari sono persone deliziose e premurose molto discrete e mai invadenti seppur sempre presenti e a disposizione del cliente; parlano perfettamente inglese, disponibili ad aiutare e dare informazioni di qualsiasi tipo.
Colazione essenziale sia dolce che salata, prodotti freschi e buoni.
Wifi in tutta la struttura con ottimo segnale
L'arredamento è vintage, come le case di una volta, come la casa della nonna!
Intimo e carinissimo il cortile della colazione che regala frescura anche nelle giornate più calde.
Il bagno, è il punto debole della struttura per le dimensioni ridotte, non c'è bidet (difficile comunque da trovare all'estero) e il lavandino è in camera da letto ma per noi non è stato un problema.
La struttura ha i suoi anni, determinati interventi radicali per ovvi motivi non sono nemmeno possibili da effettuare.
Presso il BGH - Grandma's House, come già detto, si trascorrere un soggiorno in famiglia e non in uno sterile Hotel.

Cons:

Nulla.

Super Günstig- Unterkunft mit Frühstück- was will man mehr 😂
Pros:

Sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich, familiär und nett.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war eine Zumutung,. Es gab nicht wirklich eine Dusche; WC wurde mit einer Duschfolie geteilt, damit man duschen konnte.
