O Give Me A Home…
Noa Galata Trio Apartments
You’re a foreigner looking for accomodation in Istanbul. With a combination of cheap rakı and a language barrier, what could possibly go wrong?!?
Well, it’s safe to know that there’s Noa Galata apartments at hand.
Renovated by a team of architects led by Elif Özdemir, the newly-completed housing project is a stylish cluster of fully-furnished flats located in the ever so trendy Galata district. Serving those looking for temporary accomodation or the local buy-to-let investor, the house names read like Ottoman history (Tatar Bey, Ali Hoca, Aslan Han). And now the last house, Lüleci Hendek, completes the family picture.
Of those, Ali Hoca houses a state-of-art fitness centre at the basement floor, while Lüleci Hendek is a grandiose building dating back to 1910.
Common in them all is the careful attention given to blend in with the overall touch and feel of the neighbourhood: all the period details like ceilings and fire places have been kept, or painstakingly restored with clever architectural thinking.
So don’t worry about what the hell ‘ikametgah ilmuhaberi’ means. After all, creativity is an unknown language everyone understands…
