Burak’s place is really nicely decorated, and the apartment itself is also beautiful. I cannot think of a better location to stay in Istanbul other than this hip, queer friendly area, and Burak’s place is right on the main street. Even though I did not mind it, some might think it’s a bit too loud as its on the first floor and on this moderately busy street and building, but it’s also lively and gets you into it. Other than that, the kitchen was really well equipped, the place was clean and felt good to be inside in general :) totally recommend it!
