Besiktas is a wonderful area to be in, full of authentic life, interesting food and good shopping (little local stores that are affordable, not the big commercial mall type) and the apartment is very nice. Note that the "+1" is in the living room, and this was a little bit of a surprise, but the fold-out couch was spacious and confortable.

The walls are very thin, so that's why there is a quiet requirement. I recommend exploring the drawers and cupboards to find all the sheets and stuff - there are a few hidden things it took us a while to find, like an electric adapter, or the bath towels... but in the end, everything was there.

I would certainly recommend this place.
