2. The Corner Window

Standard studios put the window on one wall. Figen Han insisted on a corner window (two walls of glass). This, she argued, tricks the brain into perceiving the space as larger than it is. "If you see the sky in two directions," she once wrote in a margin note on a lease agreement, "you forget the walls." figen han garsoniyer

3. Location (The Heart of the Old City)

Figen Han is located in the Çarşı (Bazaar) district. the Yemeniciler Arasta (shoe makers’ bazaar)

  • Pros: You are steps away from the famous Cinci Han Bath, the Yemeniciler Arasta (shoe makers’ bazaar), and the best Baklava shops. You do not need a car to explore the sights.
  • Cons: The streets are narrow and cobblestoned. If you are driving, you cannot park directly at the door. You will likely have to park in a public lot (like the one near the Cinci Han) and wheel your luggage a few hundred meters over uneven stones. For guests with mobility issues, this is a significant disadvantage.
