This is one of the most special pieces of real estate in Istanbul:
1. It's located right in the middle of a very beautiful, unique neighborhood (Cihangir). You only have to step downstairs to be surrounded on all sides by all kinds of shops, bars, cafes, and friendly neighbors that say hi to you every day. Other apartments that claim to be in Cihangir tend to be a bit of a walk away from any action, but this place is truly located perfectly
2. The view is unparalleled. Not only does it have a bosphorus view that people literally pay money to see at the restaurant next door (5. kat), but there is additionally a city/Galata Tower view from the bedroom balcony
3. There is an elevator, which is a massive plus. Almost none of these historic buildings have elevators, so this is more unique to this building than you would think
Bonus: Ilker and Yasemin are great hosts and great people. Hope to talk again in the future :)
