Breaktaking Bosphorus views in Bohemian, Central area - Apartment Rental Listing Details

I'm a travel writer who has traveled the world in search of the best places to stay. Istanbul is my favorite city and I've chosen this apartment after spending months searching for the best neighborhood and most charming flat from which to enjoy Istanbul. The view is simply stunning - a hotel room with this view would cost you hundreds per night. Check out the Dolmace Palace, the Bosphorus Bridge, Angel Island and much more.

The neighborhood, Cihangir is a short walk from the Taksim - the center of Istanbul's night (and day) life. Cihangir is just far enough away (10 min walk) from the hustle and bustle of the city center to provide you with a place to rest. Relax on your balcony and enjoy watching ships from around the world ply one of the world's most interesting waterways between the Maramara and the Black Seas. You are minutes from the tram which will take you to the old part of the city - Sultanahmet with all its mosques and palaces. A block away is a taxi station. But most sites are within easy walking distance. This neighborhood is a favorite of foreigners, artists, writers, and film industry people. It is full of delightful cafes, and has the ambience of Soho or Monmarte, Paris.

Sleeps eight comfortably and comes with all linens, dishes, tv, cable, telephone, air conditioning, stereo speakers for an ipod, even a sultan's divan from which to take in the view! Price is for 4. Each additional person is $20 per night. There is a refundable damage deposit. And a one-time cleaning fee of $70.

Other options are available such as driver, airport transfer, daily maid service, your own private city orientation guide, and much more. Summer and fall 2008 are filling fast so don't delay. See you in Istanbul soon!
