This gorgeous apartment situated inside a historic building right in the beating heart of Istanbul is an ideal base for a family or a group of friends wanting to make the most of their time in this magical city. While you’ll have to climb up quite a few stairs to reach this fourth-floor pad, it’ll be worth it once you come in and find yourself embraced by the warm ambience. We love the generous space, high ceiling and streams of natural light that come flooding in through the large windows. Get cosy in the elegant living room and enjoy an evening of TV and wine in the company of your loved ones. While there’s certainly no lack of excellent dining out options in the vicinity, you can also choose to have a quiet evening at home, in which case rustling up something delicious will be a breeze, thanks to the modern and well-equipped kitchen. The whole party will enjoy a night of sweet dreams and restful sleep in the plush bedrooms, and the sleek bathroom adds another note of luxury. In the morning, start your day with some fresh coffee and breakfast in the dining room, before heading out to... explore the city.
