My experience in Istanbul? Waking up with the chant of the muezzin from Firuzaga mosque and contemplate the restless waters of the Bosphorus from the terrace of Lina's house and watch, at sunset, the slow change of colors, up to the shine of the endless lights that make magical night.
The dimension that you live in this house is the warm atmosphere of Istanbul, every room is exactly the blend of East and West, you perceive colors, sounds and smells of the streets of Cihangir, where everything is full of the thousands souls of this city.
Sitting at Lina's desk, behind a window from which I view the sea, I still see the heady images of the day from one district to another, including the multicolored crowd and the silence of the streets of Balat and Fener, the sense of recollection of smaller and deserted mosques and the extraordinary beauty of a thousand-year history.
It 'a warm thank you that I would say to Lina, his kindness and friendliness. His house is not only beautiful and comfortable, it has the power to make you live this wonderful city as if you belonged to, as one of its millions of inhabitants.
