Bereket Two Reviews
Paula and Mike (U.K.)

This is a beautiful little apartment and so central to everything. The pick-up and drop-
off car service is a huge help, especially when traveling with small kids.
Myra and Michael (Australia)

Thank you -- we had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to come home from our daily
adventures to such a comfortable and handsomely furnished apartment. The apartment
and its charming and convenient neighborhood helped us enjoy what has been one of
the most memorable and enriching vacations we have ever had.
Tim & Melisse (U.S.)

The apartment was a great find. The pictures and description on the website were
accurate. We chose to walk everywhere and with 2 kids! No complaints as all the sites
were close and the walks very pleasant. All people around the apartment were friendly
and very helpful with no outs hassling. We have had a great stay and have fallen in
love with this busy, friendly city with a beautiful soul.

Bereket Two has been wonderful. Istanbul is a bit overwhelming, yet an incredible city.
We will have to visit again as there was no chance to do everything in our short stay.
The apartment has been a haven after very long days exploring, a welcome opportunity
to put up our sore feet.
Dawn & James (U.S.)

We arrived at Bereket Two for the first time three weeks ago yesterday and these three
weeks have been very happy and memorable. How rapidly these rooms have become
our home away from home and our access to this exciting and vibrant city. We
appreciate all that Ann and Aynur have done to make our stay comfortable and secure.
It will be a sad moment when the van comes tomorrow morning to take us to the
airport. But we will look back on our stay here with unadulterated pleasure.
Alec & Mindy (U.S.)

I joined Alec and Mindy for one of their weeks here -- and Bereket Two immediately
became the center and source from which all Istanbul radiated. I've come to love and
wait for the passionate voice calling all to prayer from the minaret next door. The
Galata Tower looms large but kindly on the lovely neighborhood below. Thank you for  
his very special respite in a welcoming neighborhood of an extraordinary city.
Claire (U.S)

Thank you for the lovely time in your apartment -- we felt very comfortable  and
enjoyed Istanbul, your living room and all the restaurants around! I think our friends
staying in hotels were a little jealous!

We have had a lovely week in Istanbul. The apartment met our expectations; for once,
the internet pictures were telling the truth! The call to prayer from the minaret outside
my bedroom window almost gave me a heart attack the first morning. Now, at
departure time, I have come to enjoy it. With a flat like this one, we were free to
entertain our Turkish friends as well. When travelling four people together, I clearly
prefer an apartment to a hotel. I will not hesitate to recommend this flat to anyone.
The Solli family (U.S.)

We had fantastic days here in Bereket Two. Very, very charming apartment and
perfectly located. Just a few minutes away from all the buzz and people but really quiet
at night. Istanbul is a brilliant place. It was our first time here but most definitely not
our last!
Stroppe family (Netherlands)

We had a great time at Bereket Two. The location is fantastic. We mostly walked
everywhere. The apartment is very comfortable with everything one needs close by.
Gary, Ruby & Leah (U.S.)

We had a really pleasant stay in this beautiful and comfortable apartment--it felt like
coming home each evening. We will recommend this place to everyone who wants to
stay in Istanbul.

What a fantastic time we all had this week! Our first time, and definitely not our last, to
Istanbul!
Mary, John, Bob & Scott (U.S.)

Very nice apartment! Good location. We don't think we would have had such a great
time if we were to have stayed in Sultanahmet.
(Jacky, Michelle, Angela,Patrick, Don & Zen (U.K., Australia & Malaysia)

Thanks for the great apartment. We've all really enjoyed our time here -- everything we
needed and fantastic location. Loved Istanbul ...
Pete, Alex, Nina and Rob (U.K.)

Wow! What an excellent apartment. Elegant and tasteful. A true home in a strange
place. And what about the location -- just perfect. Istanbul is cool and so are the Turks.
Ijland (Denmark)

We absolutely loved our stay in Istanbul! Bereket Two was wonderfully welcoming and
beautiful -- a home away from home for the week we stayed in this interesting and
vibrant city.  We would really like to commend the staff on its impeccable service. Our
concerns were promptly addressed and the drivers for our airport transfers was patient
and reliable. The service really added convenience and comfort during our holiday and
eased our stay in a foreign country. Thank you for such a memorable week. We will
definitely recommend these apartments to our friends.
The Harvard ('06) Girls (U.S.)

We enjoyed staying in beautiful Bereket Two for a week. Thanks to Ann and Aynur who
were very helpful in assisting us to make our stay more comfortable. In a nutshell,
everything about the apartment is perfect. Everything we needed was here. The
location is perfect for us to visit both Taksim Square and Istanbul's historical sights.
Norasni, Tatra, Fir (Malaysia)

We've had a delightful stay in Istanbul -- Bereket Two has been so conveniently
located and has much old world charm. Especially we appreciated the hairdryer and
washing machine. Also the internet connection and TV helped us stay in connected.
George & Dottie (U.S.)

Bereket Two has provided us with the perfect base for a wonderful holiday in Istanbul
that we will always remember. The information provided on the internet was accurate
and arrangements translated into reality. Being close to ferries, trams and buses made
it easy to explore very different areas of the city. Coming back to the apartment has
allowed us to imagine what it would be like to lice here -- awesome!
Dowling family (U.K.)

It was a pleasure to stay in Bereket Two. It gave me a beautiful feeling. Every morning
I woke up with the lovely sound of the call to prayer. Every night I could see the Galata
Tower from the balcony and the amazing moonlight. I loved the beautiful and cozy
rooms.
Nazemi family (U.S. & Iran)

Many thanks for the lovely flat (Bereket Two) and kind assistance. Location, location,
location. We take home great memories of a terrific visit.
Lenk family (Israel)

Bereket Two is a lovely position tucked away behind the Galata Tower. The staff have
been very patient and helpful. This little street could be from a stage set – will miss this
beautiful place and of course Istanbul.
Stephen, Jen & family (Australia)

We had a wonderful stay in Bereket Two…the apartment was a wonderful oasis.
Elke family (U.S.)

Bereket Two is a very nice apartment! Good location. We don't think we would have
had such a great time if we had stayed in Sultanahmet.
Jacqueline (Malaysia)

It's been a great three months working and living here in Bereket Two. The
Galata/Beyoglu area is like no other in the world and its residents have welcomed me
since my first foray. After a long day ... it was nice to know that I had this great
apartment to look forward to coming back to. Ann and her staff have all been so
accommodating and patient ... they made me feel like I was right at home, Cheers to all
for making my stint in Istanbul that much more enjoyable.
Franco (Canada)

Excellent stay for a business traveler as well! Bereket Two has all the facilities of a
good hotel and many pluses more ... I will return and recommend it to others.
Umit (Norway)

We enjoyed our stay in Bereket Two --thanks to you, thanks to this lovely apartment
and thanks to the wonderful people of Istanbul. We will be back for more ... your
kindness in all matters was appreciated by us ...
Sujatha & Bose (India-Malaysia)

We have many happy memories for Bereket Two and our week in Istanbul … Bereket
was the ideal location for us. Close to the sights. Close to the shops. Living in a historic
neighborhood at the foot of Galata Tower—yet with every modern convenience.
Noel-Orieta-Frederic (Australia)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bereket Two. The apartment is situated in a good
location, close to all sightseeing places. It was also very handy to be near local food
shops… the apartment caters for all and has everything a person needs to have a good
stay, long or short.
