  • This is a wonderful penthouse apartment. The view is breathtaking, the interior is flooded with light and the locale is perfect. Not in the heart of the city--but if you don't mind taking a 20-minute ride by cab (very inexpensive), you'll miss the tourists and kitsch of Sultanahmet and the noisy clubs of Beyoglu. The location is in one of the most upscale neighborhoods of the city--close to great restaurants and boutiques in the town of Bebek. Much more of a "local" experience--and a home I'd gladly return to.

  • We stayed at this amazing apartment for a long weekend following a cruise. It looks like a place where magazine photo shoots with models take place and is the perfect place to get away from touristy Istanbul and enjoy the fantastic city that so many rave about. I'd been to Istanbul before and didn't love it until we stayed here! Its pretty easy to get into the city on a bus/train from the apartment, but why leave? You have everything you need right there in Rumeli Hasari. Great restaurants right down the street too - amazing traditional turkish breakfast.

  • I stayed for several days in September. I split the trip, several days at a hotel in Taskim and then at this property. I had some trepidation as I've never used VRBO and was concerned about legitimacy, logistics and the property itself. I can assure you everything was *fantastic* The property has unmatched views. Is a very easy cab ride (10 bucks) to the Old City or shopping malls or stores if that's your thing. If I had to do it again, I would have skipped the hotel and stayed here exclusively. The owners couldn't be more helpful or responsive. I would have no concerns about returning and most surely will.

  • Now that I have stayed in this particular property in Istanbul, it will be very difficult to stay anywhere else in that magnificent city. This was my fourteenth visit to Istanbul, where I stayed in dozens of hotels of almost all categories, but this was my first time in a furnished apartment by choice. This property is just a doll, and whoever plans on a medium to long term visit should seriously consider staying there. Not just for the gorgeous view on the Bosphorus. It is a paradise for ship lovers, but also for the quality of the property, its simple but inspiring artistic beauty, the location, the availability of public transportation for those who prefer not to drive, or only rely on taxi cabs, and the great support offered by the owners at all times. This place is great not just for tourists who want to take it easy and not have to chase museums, mosques, churches and palaces all day long, but also for corporate visitors who want to mix between work, recreation and an environment conducive to better thinking and planning. The detailed VRBO site was rich with very useful information. I will be back next year. Cheers.”

  • We loved are time in this fabulous apartment. The flat had every thing you could possibly need and the decor was inspiring, full of light colors and sleek, modern lines. The neighborhood is picturesque with cute cafes and beautiful waterside restaurants.There are parks up and down the coast and a big walkway right by the water for your evening strolls . There is also a fantastic new shopping mall about 10 Minutes away called Istinye Park.Don´t miss it. The neighbors in the building are most friendly and helpful. And the owner is very caring and attentive, answering all my questions. My family cannot wait to go back to this Bosporus jewel.Tracy Goodwin
