The balcony is next to the kitchen. My building has 17 floors, while mine is in the 13th one. Because it is very high it has a nice view and I never feel hot. There is no TV, air conditioner or a dining room in my flat, but I love it very much because there are lots of shopping centers near to it. Mall of Istanbul is opposite it and Arenapark is next to it.
