Hi Laura,

I work in Levent and live in Besiktas which, as pug106GTi says above, is just one 20-minute bus/mini-bus/taxi ride away. I like it here; it's a lively area in a good location near the bosphorus.

Taksim, the main area for nightlife, is only about 15/20 minutes away on the metro, and there are plenty of ex-pats living in Cihanger (near Taksim station).

There are (slightly) more rural places a bit more of a commute out of town; depends what you're looking for.

Enjoy Istanbul!

Hello MrsMonkey,

Actually i am living in Levent but the point is there are few parts of Levent. I guess you'd like the part where i am living with my hubby and 2 yrs old toddler daughter.

Please don't hesitate to drop me few lines anytime you need to ask anything about everything

Good Luck..
