Brimming with character, decorated in bright tones and just minutes away from the centre of Istanbul, this stylish apartment ticks all the boxes for a dream escape in the Turkish capital.

The open-plan living room – adorned with chic artwork and colourful furniture – is cosy without being crowded. You could comfortably host dinner for a couple of extra guests, sharing shakshuka on the dining table or chilling on the sofas with a glass of raki.

If you prefer a world-class chef to do the cooking instead, you're expertly placed to discover Istanbul's top-rate restaurants. Walk for 600 metres and you'll reach Taksim Square, a vibrant nexus of eating spots, upbeat bars and cool shops. It's one of the trendy areas of the city and where many come to enjoy Turkey's nightlife.

If you're looking for a more relaxed, cultural holiday, you're a short walk away from two museums. Pera Museum showcases the history of the city, whilst Istanbul Modern Arts Museum demonstrate Istanbul's artistic flair.
