Orkun’s apartment is bright, spacious, airy and light. It’s situated within ten minutes’ walk to major bus lines that can get you anywhere you want to be in Istanbul, or twenty minutes’ walk to Taksim or İstiklal. Meanwhile, from the balcony you see the Beyoğlu neighborhood as it tumbles toward the Golden Horn and Old Town, with a full skyline view of Hagia Sophia, Valens Aqueduct, and the Blue Mosque.
Orkun communicates almost immediately to any inquiries and the staff at the building are incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. I’ll consider myself very lucky to stay here again when I return to Istanbul.
