Pinar has the top floor of an old 6 story apartment in the heart of the emerging bar and restaurant district in South Beyoglu. This is an area not far from the old city which is starting to see the effects off gentrification with more young bohemians moving into the older buildings and fixing them up.

The loft had a rooftop patio with probably one of the nicest views in the entire city. You could see the Bosphorus, about 8 mosques including Hagia Sophia & Sultanahmet and all of the surrounding neighbourhoods. We had the metro and light rail transit right downstairs but as we could walk to almost everywhere we barely used them. Pinar's apartment itself was beautifully restored and furnished with a lot of good finds from the antique & flea markets. Every deta of the apartment was well thought out, from the rustic cast iron heaters to the surround sound and Apple TV. It made it for a really comfortable stay.

Pinar as a host was wonderful. Made sure everything was taken care of and was available if we needed anything. Will definitely go back!!!
