Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We offer our spacious apartment, about 175m2 on the 3rd floor (with elevator) in Istanbul- Osmanbey for exchange with a London apartment, which can be smaller. The apartment is very centrally located (1 metro station from Taksim Square) in a typical Istanbul residential area. In 10 minutes walk you are at the subway or even in the trendy neighborhood Nisantasi. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Taksim Square. The apartment is located in a classic old building with parquet floors. 2 bedrooms with double bed, 1 living-bedroom with balcony and large sofa bed, living room with dining room and open work space. 2 bathrooms (with washing machine), fully equiped kitchen, cabinet/closet space.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Best neighborhood for market shopping and local life
Down-to-earth Kurtuluş and up-and-coming Bomonti are just on the opposite side of the Osmanbey metro station from Nişantaşı and Teşvikiye – but a world away in atmosphere. Kurtuluş offers the best of traditional neighborhood life, with bustling streets and a wealth of small homestyle restaurants, bakeries, delis and other food stores.
Anchored around the Bomontiada entertainment complex in a historic brewery building, Bomonti has a growing dining and nightlife scene, as well as some higher-end hotels. In between is Feriköy, where an open-air market is set up in a parking garage multiple times a week, with vendors selling organic produce on Saturday, antiques on Sunday and a mixed array of foodstuffs and homewares on Mondays and Thursdays.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
As the house is a little bit bright, we ask not to run over the wooden floor with high heels or similar, as the neighbor on the 2nd floor is very sensitive to this. Otherwise there are no special house rules.
