In the buzzing Cihangir neighbourhood, this swish apartment is ideal for business or leisure. The narrow, leafy streets around you are home to hole-in-the-wall restaurants serving Gözleme and Kunefe while trendy coffee shops spill out onto the pavements. You’ll find all the transport connections you need – tram, ferry and even funicular – at nearby Kabataş, and Taksim is right next door. Inside, it’s a classy space with mosaic tiles and glass walls. The kitchen is small but has all you need for self-catering. The real bonus is the private, plant-filled courtyard, perfect for Turkish tea and baklava outside.
