This sleek apartment, right in the heart of Şişli, has a Scandi feel running through it. It's a perfect base for those seeking a retreat in a quieter affluent neighbourhood, while also providing easy access to the vibrant city hotspots and cultural sights. The apartment is in an idyllic location, with boutique shops and trendy coffee spots lining the local street, as well as the charming Maçka Park just a short walk away. But we particularly love the pared-back natural aesthetic your host has designed in this home – neutral hues, luscious green accents and thoughtful artworks make returning home to this apartment after a day shopping in Nişantaşı feel like a little oasis. Start your day with a Turkish çay tea and a simit bagel around the modern dining table as you plan the day’s itinerary. Visit the Ottoman Empire's 31st Sultan Palace, Dolmabahçe, then take the ferry to the Asian side for lunch in Moda. You can enjoy a walk along the coastal promenade, sampling stuffed midye mussels and pink-hued tursu suyu pickle juice, before settling into a local bar for a taste of the city’s national drink, Rakı.

About Istanbul
Millennia-old, Istanbul has a rich and colourful history that’s left a footprint on the city we know and love today. It’s been the terminus of spice and silk routes, and has been besieged thirty-six times by Byzantines, Ottomans and Romans – which left behind bustling bazaars, grand palaces and ancient ruins.
