Our overall stay was very nice. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and exactly the same as shown in their pictures. All amenities were also present. Their mini breakfast was also very nice, healthy and filling and was served in their Berry cafe, a very cute small cafe a few steps away from the apartments.
However, there are a few problems we faced that I would like to point out for anyone wanting to book the basement rooms. Firstly, the basement rooms have zero signals. I did not think this would be a big issue as we would have wifi. Unfortunately, their WiFi was also very unreliable as it would only work properly in some areas of the room and sometimes it would completely stop working. Something unexpected also happened during our stay, the electricity was cut. This was a big problem as not only were we in complete darkness for a long time because of no windows, but we also had no internet or signals so we couldn’t use our phones either. Thankfully this only happened the first night but definitely something to consider.
Secondly, the bathroom sink is unusually small. We had to bend our heads to use it and it was impossible to wash our face or brush our teeth without all the water dripping on the floor and on our clothes/feet. Because of this our bathroom was constantly wet. This was a big inconvenience that we faced and I hope it can be fixed.
Other than these few things I would definitely recommend you to stay at IstanBerry aparts. It is affordable, the rooms are great, the location is perfect and the people are very friendly. It was definitely one of our best Airbnb experiences. The highlight was probably the friendly and helpful nature of the whole team. They were very accommodating whether it was day time or late at night. All of the employees know good English so communicating with them was very easy. They even let me borrow their electronic scale and provided me with extra assistance to weigh my heavy bags as I was traveling back to my country.
