- "Great location in the heart of Galata Tower area. Very easy to navigate and was always easy to get home. A mix of tourists and locals in the area so we always felt safe. They also recommended some great places in the neighborhood which we appreciated. Wear comfy walking shoes as much of the area is hilly and cobblestone. The apartment is on a steep 3rd floor walk up so you get a very good view of your surroundings from the windows. And let me tell you, that view…remarkable! Would recommend this place in the future."

This is the perfect apartment for discerning guests who enjoy a stylish space with stunning city-scape views at your beck and call - in a central and fascinating historic location.
All furnishings and fittings are high-end and the interior design is skillfully crafted, balancing contemporary style and vintage treasures, soft and industrial design elements. The space itself is thoughtfully arranged for privacy and comfort.
We know you'll love it!
Please note that this is a penthouse apartment on the 5th floor of a historic building with no lift/elevator. You will need to manage - hopefully enjoy - 5 flights of elegant marble stairs to access it and the magical views it provides. Extra baklava rewards are yours :))
The apartment building is very well connected to public transport and taxis are easily available. It’s 500m from Galata Tower, only 4 minutes' walk from Sishane metro station, 3 minutes' walk to Tünel funicular and a short downhill walk to connect with the tram for Sultanahmet. Famous Istiklal Avenue is around 5 minutes' walk up the hill.
- The large TERRACE is absolutely stunning. Truly breathtaking 180 degree views across the Bosphorus and Golden Horn are yours to enjoy - in privacy - any time you like. Such a feature with such a perfect view is very unusual for Istanbul, unique in fact - magical! It's furnished with a dining table and seating for 4 plus two comfortable deck chairs.
- 2 DOUBLE BEDROOMS (with stylish double beds) make it romantic for a couple, fun for 2 couples and spacious for 2 single travellers . The main bedroom has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors with direct access to the terrace and its views. Pull the curtains back in the morning to ever-changing light over the city and enjoy tea in bed with the skyline spread our before you! The second bedroom is tucked away at the back of the property, cosy and quiet but with no views.
Linens and towels are all top quality Turkish cotton - crisp, white and freshly laundered. Duvets are feather and plentiful pillows are either feather or microfibre, so you may choose to mix as you wish for your personal comfort.
- The LIVING ROOM also has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors with direct access to the terrace. It's large and comfortable with atmospheric lighting and cosy, stylish seating for everyone plus a bar table with high stools to make the most of the views. Another special feature is a high quality contemporary wood-burning fireplace - incredibly atmospheric in the cooler months.
Please note that the apartment boasts very efficient central combi-gas heating, so the fireplace is largely for atmosphere.
- The high-end designer KITCHEN is open plan and spacious, with a gas hob, oven, microwave and large fridge-freezer. All the kitchen equipment is of great quality and well thought-out. Cafetière, Turkish coffee pan, teapot, tea glasses and large mugs are all provided, as are start-up amounts of coffee, tea and sugar. Glasses and crockery are stylish and plentiful.
Close to the kitchen is a circular designer dining table with atmospheric pendant lighting and comfortable seating for 4.

- "An amazing stay at an amazing place! Would definitely recommend! Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel special and took great care of us. It was very appreciated. Thanks again!" - "It’s a wonderful apartment, the balcony and view are incredible. We stayed with our boys (8 and 10) and they stayed in the room off the kitchen which worked perfectly. 5 storeys with bags is a good work out when you arrive (!) but worth it. We’d definitely stay here again."

This stylish yet homely apartment is on the 1st floor of a historically grand 19th century building not far from Galata Tower. It's spacious, stylish and comfortable. A few floors up on the roof-top, a shared terrace has views across the Golden Horn. The streets below are a characterful mix of cafe-restaurants, boutiques and residential apartment buildings.
We also offer a selection of 'experiences' with our local guides, to help you build your own genuine and memorable perspective on the city.
One flight of original marble stairs take you up to the apartment and a few more floors up on the roof-top, a shared terrace has lovely views across the Golden Horn. You're welcome to take your drinks, meals or simply thoughts up there any time. The streets below the apartment are atmospheric with small, trendy boutiques and cafe-restaurants, yet are quiet and residential at night. Galata's pedestrianised area is just around the corner with its lively pavement cafes and restaurants plus all the buzz of this bohemian district.
The apartment building is only 2 minutes walk from Sishane metro station, 1 minute walk from Tünel funicular and a downhill walk to connect with the tram for Sultanahmet. Famous Istiklal Avenue is less than 5 minutes walk up the hill.
The bedrooms are stylish: one double and one twin, each with chic velvet headboards and high quality crisp white linens. There's a good sized, well-equipped kitchen with high-end appliances including dish-washer. The bright and spacious dining room is in the centre of the apartment. In the comfortable living room there's a large feather-cushioned sofa, armchair and a bar table with stools overlooking the interesting and authentic streets below. The shower room is a generous size with loo.
This apartment is 100m2 in total and well laid-out, with large windows, lovely high ceilings and some frescoes. The exposed floorboards and wooden panelled doors are all original, giving a homely yet stylish atmosphere. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate four people and a fifth/child on a fold-out bed in the living/dining room is possible.
Guests will have the complete privacy of the entire apartment.
The roof terrace, shared with all apartments in the building, is available for your careful use at any time.
We also offer a selection of 'experiences' with our local guides, to help you build your own genuine and memorable perspective on the city.
In the same building we also offer two additional apartments. The three, booked together, are suitable for a large group of up to 14 people.
This is a small Turkish-British family project. Julia and Tarkan used to live in Istanbul then Singapore and are now balancing life between England and Istanbul. If we're in Istanbul during your stay we'd love to meet you.
Your questions and booking will be handled by us wherever we are. When you arrive in Istanbul Tarkan’s wonderful family and/or our friendly team will welcome you to your apartment, give you the keys and explain about practicalities and the neighbourhoods.
We’ll all help you as much as you need and we're always only a phone call or email away.
Galata has a genuine, very welcoming and diverse community with an intriguing mix of cafes, restaurants, small grocery shops and artistic boutiques. Elegant 19th Century buildings line cobbled streets, with discoveries waiting around every corner. No matter where you wander, you’ll always find your way back to Galata Tower, which has been a well-loved landmark for the last 700 years.
Metro, bus, tram and ferry stops are all only a few minutes walk away. The famous Istiklal Avenue is around 5 minutes stroll. You can be in Sultanahmet (for the big sights of Ayasofya, Topkapı, Blue Mosque etc.) in about 12 minutes by public transport or 20 minutes on foot. In the other direction, by Metro, you can be in Şişli (for Istanbul’s biggest shopping mall) in 10 minutes or Levent (for Istanbul’s business district) in 15 minutes.
There are many taxi ranks around and some secure car parks too.
Will your stay with us make a difference? We hope so…
By self-catering right in the local community you’ll quickly become part of it, financially supporting small grocery shops and other family businesses. You’ll soon make relationships with these friendly people and develop a genuine understanding of the culture around you. We’re sure you’ll leave with special memories and more developed perspectives as a result of your encounters.
For each confirmed booking we arrange a tree to be planted in Turkey (via TEMA) to offset part of the carbon dioxide emission from the resulting flight. We encourage you to plant more trees: easily arranged during online booking.
We use local maintenance and cleaning services for the apartments and in this way we provide a good income for 2 families who lives nearby. We do everything we can to preserve all the original features and materials in the apartments. Where new materials are needed we source them locally, prioritising products that are designed and/or made in Turkey.
Our apartments are uniquely situated amongst mosques, churches, synagogues, a mevlevi ‘whirling dervish’ hall and other sites of religious significance. We encourage guests to sense the history of religious tolerance and hopefully! to experience something of it themselves during their stay.
- "Super well located apartment, clean sheets of very good quality. We recommend highly." - "Julia and Tarkan’s place was incredible for a stay in Istanbul (close to metro and other main attractions), and was very clean and spacious. They also helped arrange a taxi to the airport (including correcting an error I made with dates) and had a responsive nearby manager. Couldn’t recommend this more for travelers coming into Istanbul!" - "Great location and accommodating host. Would absolutely stay again if I ever return to Istanbul. Thankyou!"
