Burcu is a mrvellous person and so it's her place. The apartment is a real home which made all the difference during my ten days stay. I loved the decoration of the flat and the neighbourhood; the area is safe and close to Kurtulus street where you can find plenty of shops for tasty Turkish food, groceries and bakeries. Pangalti bus stop is 5 minutes away and Osmanbey metro station just a litlle bit farther. Burcu was very helpful and extremely flexible with check in and check out and immediately provided an extra pair of sheets when asked for. I would absolutely recommend a stay in her lovely place to anyone who wants to enjoy a comfortable experience in Istanbul!
