Istanbul: Flat

Our flat in Istanbul was about 5 minutes from the Blue Mosque and very close to a small artsy bizarre that had maybe 50 shops. The flat had two bedrooms, a small living room, and a tiny kitchen. The kitchen window looked out onto a small space and the next building. People would chat across from open windows, hang their laundry out to dry, etc. It would be a neat community place to live, assuming you liked your neighbors...
