I visit Istanbul regularly but haven't been to Beşiktaş before, and Burçak's apartment is the perfect place to explore this lively and beautiful neighborhood. The apartment is situated ideally between the touristic streets and the ferry to Üsküdar or the islands. It's astonishingly quiet at night (no cars in the street, and it's actually brighter and bigger than it appears in the ad. Burçak welcomed me personally at my arrival, she's a really nice person and also answered quickly to the few questions I had. The place is nicely decorated with strong internet and made me feel at home. I loved being there.
