I had just read the book „The Architect's Apprentice“ from Elif Shafak and then had to travel to Istanbul. The book told me you have to live in the Beyoglu district.
In the apartment of Simay and in the streets around the apartment, of course, also on the Bosporus, I once again experienced the book. The atmosphere of this apartment has transformed me into the main figure of the novel, Sinan, the famous architect of the 16th century, Architect of the famous Süleymaniye Mosque which was built in the then Constantinople. The generosity and beauty of Simay's apartment allowed me this enthusiasm.
I'll be back in Simay's apartment and will finish and live in the book there.
