Deren's Place is such a special home. From the moment you enter the building you find a beautiful marble spiral staircase, lined with mosaic blue and white tiled walls. When you enter the home you instantly will feel it's openess and attention to detail. Latife as thought of everything you might need. She even baked us the most delicious cake, which was wonderful to have after our long travels. From the original wood door and floors, the brick in the kitchen, to the original clay ceiling, this home is a work of art. From the 3rd floor you will be surrounded by windows with great natural light and can provide lots of fresh air. After a long day of living a like a local being able to walk over to Taksim square, Istikal street, visit the Soho House, walk to the Galata Tower (and I really mean a close walk), you can take a Sauna in your own place. Then enjoy sitting at the kitchen table which gives you a view of the Bosphorus to see for yourself why they call it the Golden Horn with it's illustrious golden hue. Then take a rest in any of the very comfortable beds. I would come back to stay here again and again.
