Vivian's 'Lovely place to be..." is an amazing oasis of calm and serenity just a few steps from the lovely historical south campus of Boğaziçi University. With restaurants and cafes nearby, the location cannot be beat for vibrance and convenience. The apartment is brimming with character thanks to Vivian's amazing eye for design as shown in her wonderfully diverse collection of art and books from around the world. The beautiful open layout helps you to feel very light and free after long days and nights rushing around in the bustling city. The huge windows looking out high above the city can be opened to let in a nice summer breeze. Vivian was incredibly kind and wonderful throughout my stay. She even gave me tips on the local dining scene, and on the best transportation options to get to and from Istanbul Atatürk Airport. Vivian also graciously offered access to her amazingly huge collection of tea, which was a welcome way to settle in for a cozy evening high above the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. I highly recommend staying in Vivian's 'lovely place to be'.
