Elif's place is just perfect! Not only is Beşiktaş the place to be and stay in Istanbul, the view is just stunning and the neighborhood really quiet. It's only about a ten-minute walk to the neighborhood's center with lots of shopping streets, restaurants and bars, as well as to the next bus stops and ferry stations. Communication was great and easy as well and we had everything we needed in the apartment. All in all, 10/10 would recommend!:)
