Iason's apartment is a real jewel. Surrounded by books and authentic oriental pieces of furniture and accessories and gazing towards Kurtulus and Tarlabashi, one feels inspired. The spacious rooms with high ceilings revive memories of the once thriving neighborhood. The location is extremely convenient, close to Istiklal Caddesi (3 mins) and Taksim square (10 mins). Some nice places to eat (mainly pide places and lokantas) are nearby and the Fish Market (Balik Pazar) with excellent delicatessen shops is very close, for those caring to cook on their own.
The place is ideal for those travelling for work or pleasure, interested in discovering Istanbul's few remaining authentic spots. Needless to say, it is tailor-made for academics or journalists needing a place to concentrate and write.
