Wundervoller Aufenthalt
Pros:

Ein liebevoll geführtes Gästehaus! Wir haben uns hier außerordentlich wohl gefühlt. Die Inhaber und Mitarbeitenden sind allesamt super freundlich und man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Das Berk Guest House war seinerzeit das 5. Gästehaus Istanbuls und existiert noch immer - allein das spricht für sich. Die Lage und die Dachterrasse sind das absolute i-Tüpfelchen. Auch das Frühstück bietet alles, was es braucht. Jeden morgen wurde mir zusätzlich ein frisch gebrühter türkischer Kaffee angeboten. Schade, dass die aktuelle Lage es den kleinen Betreibern so schwer macht. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. ❤️

Un posto dove tornerei
Pros:

Soggiornare in questa struttura fa sentire coccolati. I proprietari sono gentilissimi, ospitali senza essere invadenti. La struttura è situata a 5 minuti a piedi da piazza Taskim e dalla fermata del Tram T1. Dotato di terrazza panoramica e cortile interno, fresco, dove si fa colazione. Quest' ultima è soprattutto salata, con prodotti molto buoni. La nostra camera non era grandissima, ma comoda soprattutto il letto e Ve lo dice una che ha problemi alla schiena.

Cons:

Se devo segnalare qualcosa, ma solo per chi ha necessità di ampi spazi, il nostro bagno era un po' piccino.
