2 rooms apartment of 100m² in Beyoğlu

Perched on the 4th floor of a listed, historical 1913 walk-up, 5' walk from Istiklal Street, this well-equipped, tastefully decorated apt with a huge library and rare documentary photography travels you back to Istanbul's 19th century. The library spans Mediterranean/Middle East/North Africa/Central Asia-specific literature, philosophy, travel writing and current affairs. Renovated in 2016, 5' walk from Istiklal, 10' from trendy Cihangir and Galata districts. Discount* for architects & writers. There are many apartments around Taksim but it's rare to get access to an architect-designed one with such a well-stocked library and furnished with custom-built bookcases, Ottoman sedir seating and Levantine, North African and Viennese antique furniture. Rounded off with a modern kitchen and bathroom, this beautiful apartment is decorated with antiques from around the Middle East and Central Asia, and illustrated with documentary photography shot by its owner, a Mediterraneanist who employs print, photography and video to highlight little-known aspects of the region's shared past.
