East Meets West

Sleek furniture, an amazing location, and a clean, modern aesthetic create the ideal setting for a couple or solo traveller to explore Istanbul. The apartment is modern while still being homely, with plush sofas to spend evenings curled up on, the light fixture setting the relaxing mood, and a super soft rug to tie it all together. In one of the most historical cities in the world, this contemporary apartment is the definition of Istanbul's unofficial slogan – where east meets west.

You're right in the heart of Kadıköy – a fun, vibrant area of the city that lies on the shores of the Bosphorus. It has a buzzing cafe scene, bars that line the waterfront, and plenty of galleries to lose track of time in. And getting around Istanbul couldn't be easier, which is convenient whether you're in Istanbul for work or to simply explore the magical city. You're a short walk from the well-connected metro, or you can hop on the ferry that takes you from the Asian side of Istanbul to the European side, where you can visit the Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, and more.

However you spend the day, you'll love returning home to your city oasis in the sky. The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for whipping up local favourites for dinner or you can head out to one of the area's many restaurants. Then, pick up a bottle of local wine and watch the city skyline sparkle from your sofa.
