"Our Friday night arrival at our new artsy home set the tone for the entirety of the stay. Outside, bars were spilling onto the streets, the call to prayer rang out across the water; many of the city's 100,000 (+) cats sang out in chorus. Oh, and our first taxi driver kindly scammed us. But, stepping inside felt akin to collapsing in a king-sized Shangri-La bed or settling into a Mandarin Oriental treatment room. Safe, calming and supremely comfortable."
"Upon turning the key, we ventured up one short flight of stairs to be greeted by a first-floor entry-way and kitchen space. Here, white-washed walls, wooden kitchen cabinetry and a rich-orange splashback were set to a backdrop of a huge floor-to-ceiling stained glass window. The brightness of the space - better experienced the morning after our arrival, admittedly - felt almost gallery-like, yet the exposed brickwork, luscious houseplants and wooden flooring added warmth and homeliness. Think: part-loft; part-botanical haven."
The apartment in Cihangir offered a calming, lived-in atmosphere with abundant natural light and gallery-like brightness alongside warm exposed brick, houseplants, and wooden flooring. The neighbourhood featured antique stores, coffee shops, pool bars and boutiques lining narrow, cobbled streets frequented by writers and artists. Friday night arrival revealed vibrant street life, the call to prayer, and many neighbourhood cats. The first floor contained an entryway and kitchen with white-washed walls, wooden cabinetry, a rich-orange splashback and a large stained-glass window. The kitchen included a Nespresso machine, drinking water, soups and herbal teas. A sweeping floating staircase led to an open-plan bedroom-living area.
