The Apartment!
I have my flat and here’s the video! Enjoy!
Oh, and within the first 24 hours I:
- Locked myself out while my music was on waaaay too loud. Leading to complaints (in Turkish) from my neighbours when I finally returned to my flat with another set of keys. Of course I couldn’t explain the situation.
- Shortly after that I broke the cable of my laptop.
- At about 5 o’ clock I decided to close some windows to keep the noise out. There is one central open area in my building that connects the windows from all the bathrooms and kitchens. Quite noisy in the morning I imagine. Apparently I didn’t close the window properly, so imagine how noisy it was when it opened again and fell down and shattered in my kitchen… I think I woke everyone up. Way to go Bas!
Let’s hope that’s the last of my bad luck in this apartment.

Thanks everyone.
@Juliana:
Yeah, the noise situation with neighbours is a bit annoying, but if I want to live in a house in Istanbul it will be hard to find an affordable and safe neighbourhood. Besides, there’s just not so many of them around here

Oh you poor thing! What a disaster-filled moving in experience!
The flat looks lovely – it looks very light and breezy.
Is it still so hot in Turkey?
