Ideally located in a quiet street in the trendy neighbourhood of Besiktas on Istanbul’s European side, the sunny apartment has a large, beautiful terrace overlooking the Bosphorus. Leading to the terrace is a light-filled study/atelier with stunning views down to the water -- ideal for creative work! The large windows of the living room overlook a quiet park. Just five minutes walk from the centre of Besiktas, this quiet apt is ideally located in an international-friendly, progressive and lively area, away from the tourist hubs, with easy access to public transportation and to every part of the city. - Ten walking minutes to the Besiktas bus and ferry hubs. - Easy reach to Taksim, Beyoglu, Galata, Kadiköy, and the historical peninsula. - Perfect location to visit Istanbul’s many art museums: Istanbul Modern, SALT, and many more. - Ideal for researchers: all the important research centres and libraries are no more than 30 minutes away with public transportation. University campuses such as Mimar Sinan, Bosphorus/Bogaziçi University, and others are likewise nearby or easily reached with public transportation. - Many Parks, grocery shops, and quiet cafes around. We are an academic couple working at German Universities and living between Germany and Istanbul. We are offering our cosy, beautiful, well-cared-for home in Istanbul for rent to academics, writers, artists, and other creative people who would know to appreciate the unique location and atmosphere of the apartment. We expect tenants to take good care of the place while we are away. The apartment is located in a quiet residential area in central Besiktas, next to a green park. Individuals, couples and families are welcome. Besides the main bedroom, there are two couches in the living room that can be converted to comfortable single beds, so the place is suitable for four persons.

The open kitchen is fully equipped, including a stove, dishwasher, fridge, and a mini-oven.
