Istanbul Sweet Home at Pukka Living

Here’s an article from Günnur Dicle, published at Pukkaliving.Com about Istanbul Sweet Home.

Self Control
IstanbulSweetHome Apartments

You’re new here and need a room pronto. With no clue as to how to even pronounce Nişantaşi or Cihangir, you’re being dragged to all sorts of wrong flats by a well-meaning but equally clueless estate agent.

Stop now! Quickly find a computer and type this: IstanbulSweetHome.

Four Istanbolites who were fed-up with rude and wicked landlords decided to take the matter into their hands and created ISH some time ago.

Having restored beautiful flats in fantastic locations like Taksim, Galata and environs which they rent out for long or short stays, they take personal care of their properties and treat you like a guest (not some foreigner=money making machine).

Each flat has a peculiar characteristic (one even boasts a private Turkish hamam), and is located in gorgeous buildings done in Bauhaus or Art Nouveau style in line with that 1880’s Beyoglu-Cihangir look. We really liked Istanbul Eye, set on two levels with stunning views of Golden Horn, offered on a last-minute deal ending March 14th.

See IstanbulSweetHome online or email to info@istanbulsweethome.com for a full list of flats.

“ON STRIKE”  This exhibition does not correspond to any serious, complicated artistic manifest. The paintings and sculptures do not attempt to make any significant contribution in terms of form and content to the spectators’ daily lives. The works in this exhibition resulted from a productive process that promotes entertaining rather than exhibiting. Read the whole story

GÖÇEBE ŞARKILAR IS STARTING TO PERFORM IN BEYOGLU, CLOSE UP

Göçebe Şarkılar (The Nomadic Songs) take their listeners on a trip into the sounds of the people who spend their lives migrating from landscape to landscape, not always by choice. Their songs reflect the lives, loves, joys and sorrows of those cultures.

Göçebe Şarkılar draw on a repertoire of songs from Romania, Hungary, old Yugoslavian gipsy lands, Macedonia, Albania , Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, Andalucía, Mexico, Italy, Anatolia, Armenia and Thrace as well as from Sephardic culture. They interpret these pieces in their authentic languages with the accompaniment of guitar, violins, accordion, and percussion; thriving to present the listener with a dynamic and different aural experience at each concert.

Let’s embark together on this journey of song, dance, happiness and melancholy…

GÖÇEBE ŞARKILAR:

Ahmet Tirgil - violin

Ayça Damgacı - vocal

Hakan Milli - vocal İnci Sunar - guitar

Levent Güzel - percussion Özge Metin - violin, accordeon

Dj Can at Barbahce on every Saturday night

Some of our guests who stay in our  gay friendly Istanbul apartments sometimes ask me for a recommendation for a good gay bar in Taksim area. I don’t know which one is recently better than the other but I know that it is always very fun and lively when my friend, Dj Can plays in a venue…Nowadays he is a resident Dj at Barbahce on every Saturday night and Barbahce is very close to some of  our  apartments in Cihangir area.

New Layout for Apartment Pages

Apartment in Istanbul to Rent

The transportation of our apartment pages to the new layout has taken longer than we expected. There are couple of reasons behind this. Such as, we have to wait for the apartment to be available for at least one day to take videos and new photos with the new furniture. We are also working to give more detailed information about the flat, such as its location, distance to closest touristic interests and how to get there, more information about the features and amenities and so on. But eventually, our last apartment page available for short stays is up and running with its new layout, more to the eyes and more user-friendly. We are proud to present Tea & Gossip Balcony! (applause) :)))
