Staying at Burcu's palce put my faith back into the flat-sharing-sharing concept. Having to work early mornings while I stayed there, Burcu was fine about my space being a bedroom-cum-office. Her place is just as the photos depict, airy, spacious, light with an extremely comfortble bed. Despite it's location in groovy Moda (my favourite area in Istanbul), the bedroom balcony looks onto a quiet garden side.
There was a perfect sense of having one's own space, and privacy with the opportunity to also converse with a lovely, intelligent host. In a district with zillions of coffee shops, bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from, Burcu's recommendations were invaluable. I had to turn down Burcu's offer to join her and friends for a night on the town twice, out as I was running in the Istanbul marathon.
Thank you Burcu and your curous cats for a great Moda stay.
