Auction Highlights: 
Two Weeks in Istanbul Turkey
Put your bid paddles in the air for this extraordinary trip. The purchasers from last year's auction said their trip to Turkey was amazing. Explore the many cultural layers of Istanbul from the comfort of this home, located in the &quot;Ortakoy&quot; area, right on the Bosphorus. You'll be based in this charming, lively pedestrian area with book sellers, artists, and small cafes. It is the ideal location from which to tour the city. Catch a taxi or even a small ferry boat right next to the house, and explore all Istanbul has to offer&ndash; the Hagia Sofia, the Sultanahmet Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Market, and much, much more. The house offers three double bedrooms, all with queen beds and attached baths. One of the bedrooms has a very wide and long window 'seat' that can be used as a single bed. The kitchen has a separate large dining room and there is an outside terrace. The house also has cable TV, including CNN International and BBC. Your stay is to be arranged at a mutually agreeable date between the purchaser and donor. Must be used by April 16, 2012. Please work with the donor early because there are a few weeks this summer that are already booked.
