Brick & Leather

This cool, contemporary home in Beyoğlu, Istanbul’s high-octane eating, drinking and entertainment hub, is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day’s sightseeing or socialising. Characterised by exposed brick walls, tiled floors and featuring a breakfast bar, wooden dining table and lounge-worthy leather sofas, this split-level home is stylish yet soothing, a haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Famous for its historical landmarks, hip hotels, restaurants and nightlife, Beyoğlu will make your heart race. Make the most of your home’s location a short distance away from İstiklal Caddesi, the district’s central boulevard, and explore everything from the ancient Tower of Galata, Istanbul Modern – an innovative gallery boasting an extensive collection of Turkish art – and the Museum of Innocence. Follow this up with a trip to one of the area's baklava shops – a sweet end to any exciting day of exploring.
