The hosts at Berry Life were wonderful. They were welcoming upon our arrival (even greeting us with tea) and were available for any questions we had. They also gave some great suggestions - the day we arrived, they let us know about a Sunday bazaar happening around the corner, and gave some excellent suggestions on where to eat. As an English speaker in a very different country, it was refreshing to know there was someone available to answer questions! The host also sent information on places in Istanbul to visit and places to eat prior to our arrival, to make it easier to plan!
The apartment was beautiful - it was exactly as described in the pictures. The hosts even left some snacks in the refrigerator for us! The apartment was very clean, and it was easy to locate the things you would need in the kitchen. The bathroom was clean, and the beds were nicely made when we arrived.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and definitely a place I would return to on my next visit to Turkey!
