Kate’s penthouse occupies the top floor as an extension to a century year old historical building right on Istiklal Street in Beyoglu street right in the hustle and bustle of Istanbul.  The extension was built approximately 40 years ago with a tasteless, ordinary application when compared to the building itself.  The profound traces of the area’s history didn’t exist in this appartment.  Quite low ceilings, with a standard layout, layers of cheap and careless work all around, but with a great view of Bosphorus and the old city!
