Under the busy streets of Beyoğlu, a sock shop opens a secret passage into a 19th century palace dilapidated by time but showing the strong bones as a backdrop to modern apartments. If you have seen Altered Carbon on Netflix, you will know the mix of Victorian into the future…we were 3 friends of 14 in town for a Turkish friend’s birthday - most the others were staying at the Grand Hyatt and will probably come here instead on their next journey. When our guide talked about the Bohemian Art and Architecture of this neighborhood, I hijacked the group to show them our amazing find! Bravo to these guys who made it easy to live like locals in a tourist location.
