I decided to book the apartment of Güner and Berivan as I've stayed there before, it's very convenient and centrally located to İstiklal Street and Taksim Square. Right outside across the apartment building, there is a bakery where you can get fresh bread, pastry and dairy products. Carrefour and Şok Supermarket are 3 minutes away. The apartment is exactly equipped and furnished as shown on the pictures. Güner is always there if you have any questions, what's very convenient is their Berry Cafe where you get served not only a Mini Breakfast but other freshly prepared delicious authentic turkish meals. The kitchen staff Emine hanım, Ramza hanım and Didem hanım will make sure that you get your money worth. They are like a family to any guest, you don't feel like a stranger and the office cats Hamish and Mellow have grown onto me. I want to say a special Thank you to Tugay, Bilal and Ali Reza who were always helping me at any time, whether I was in the apartment complex or stuck somewhere outside. These guys are really hardworking and kind! Amar and Aziz. Thank you for helping me with my luggage and taking them up and down or fixing things quickly if needed.
Lastly Güner, not only are you a kind and responsive host, but you are also a very sensitive and helpful human being, friend and more so like a brother. I will miss Istanberry and the istanberry family. Until we see again... 🙏🏼
