About this apartment rental
Our apartment is on the third floor - three flights of original marble stairs - of a grand and elegant 19th century building near the beautiful Galata Tower. The street is sophisticated, with smart cafes, top Turkish fashion design boutiques and a cool bohemian feel.
The apartment is only 1 minute 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 bedrooms are stylish: two doubles and one twin, each with designer velvet headboards and high quality crisp white linens. Two of the bedrooms have fabulous views. The kitchen is large, chic and well-equipped with high-end appliances including dish-washer. The dining area has a lovely ceramic tiled floor and leads to the airy hall. The living room is stylish and comfortable with two feather-filled sofas and a bar table area leading to bay windows with fabulous panoramic views across the Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The spacious hall has a smart shower room at one end and a separate loo at the other. Original wooden floorboards give a warm feel and all doors and windows are also elegant originals, adding grace.
This apartment is 130 m2 in total, serene and restful. It's flooded with sunlight through its large sash windows and has very high ceilings throughout. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate six people.

Amazing views of the entire Bosphorus, with views of Hagia Sofya, Topkapi and various mosques. Convenient location and excellent host.

Family of 4 had 5 comfortable nights in the apartment. Lovely to look out over the Bosphorus at different times of the day - sunrise over the mosque on the hill & in the evenings the moon rising above the city. Walking distance to tram/metro, tho we tended to walk to most of what we wanted to see; apt is well located. 2 travel IstanbulKarts left by previous guests'. Note that one card can be used for up to 4 people. The area has hidden gems - independent shops & family run restaurants. Around the tower lots of tourists - we avoided. Cafe Privato(hosts recommendation) for breakfast & dinner & they kindly held our luggage as we had an early evening flight & weren't able to keep our bags at the apartment. Comfy lounge space & we all slept well. Visited early Sept & didn't need to use the aircon. Kitchen adequately supplied, although a few extra condiments like olive oil, pepper, wouldn't go amiss :-). Hosts were very responsive when we had questions. Highly recommend Julias place.
