Self Control

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.
