Begendim sessizdi ve pek cok oturma yeri vardi hatta puflardan olusan bi yer vardi ve kadin oraya uzanmisti rahat gorunuyordu insanlar sevdigi seyleri yaparken yabi yazi yazarken kitap okurken gibi kendini rahat hissetmesi onemlidir dizayni begendim ama kitaplar hep eski kitaplardi ancak bir arastirma icin kullanilabilir gibi gorunuyordu ve yazi yazmak icin gittim ust katta cam kenarinda kitap raflarinin arkasinda sessiz bir yerde oturdum ve kesinlikle ilk gidisime gore cok begendim cafe sine ugramadim ancak su siralar tekrar gitmeyi dusunuyorum ancak anadolu yakasinda oldugum icin kidisim nerdeyse 50 dk ya da daha fazla suruyor o yuzden su anda daha cok sevebilecegim comfort bir kutuphane arayisindayim

Çok beğendim😍 İçi ayrı dışı ayrı güzel…. Kütüphanesini de ayrı sevdim🥰

Karaköyde bankalar caddesinde kamondo merdivenlerine yakın konumda yer alan bu tarihinin yapının atmosferi çok güzel. İçinde Osmanlı bankası sergi ve kütüphane bulunuyor. Fotoğraf çekmek içinde fazlasıyla tercih edilen bi yer olduğunu geldiğimde öğrendim. İstanbula geldiysen mutlaka buraya da uğramalısınız
