Burçin's place is just wonderful! We only stayed in the downstairs rooms of her apartment which were very spacious and clean. The view from the master bedroom, living room and terrace is stunning! Her apartment lies in a great neighborhood. Besiktas is a safe and very friendly neighborhood with plenty of nice places where you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner! Although not a lot of people speak English, they're very helpful.
We will definitely come back!
