The Institute’s Summer Scholars will be accommodated together in a hotel in Istanbul’s Taksim neighborhood which is the city’s cultural and transportation center. This will provide ease of access to the sites in our program. Double-rooms are non-smoking, and have a private bathroom, TV, mini-fridge, air conditioning, and internet. A daily breakfast is included and the hotel conference room will be reserved for the Institute’s classes each day. Please note that we are not able to accommodate guests and/or family members during the Institute.

Istanbul Between East and West: Crossroads of History 
Does double rooms indicate that each applicant will be sharing a room for three weeks?
This is correct.
I would like to know if the term “double-rooms” indicates that participants will be lodged with a roommate for three weeks? Please clarifiy.
Yes, this is correct.
Thank you for your response, if you don’t mind one more question. Are there pairing efforts made when matching roommates? Three weeks is a long time!
Yes, I work to optimize comfortability, given the situation.
Thank you for your responses.
Hello, I have three questions:
1. What is the nearest airport?
2. Do you provide transportation from the airport to the lodging destination?
3. How much should each participant expect to pay for lodging during the three weeks?
Participants will arrive at Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IST) http://www.ataturkairport.com/en-EN/Pages/Main.aspx
There is convenient transportation from the airport to the lodging.
As stated on the website, lodging for the three weeks is provided.
Is it possible to pay extra for a single room?
This could be considered, though I can’t guarantee the lodging would be able to accommodate the request.
If we pay a little extra (little) can we have a single room?
I can’t guarantee that this will be possible, but if so, the cost will be significantly higher.
