Fantastic Apartment

This is an amazing space with a view that's every bit A Million Dollar. Located in a perfect spot with easy access to numerous restaurants, shops, sites etc, dont let the 5 floor walk up be a deterrent. The view is well worth the climb.

Great place in a great neighborhood!

The view is as advertised and the condo was perfect. Lots of cafes and food markets within walking distance. I was traveling alone unexpectedly and was very comfortable --condo was safe and in a safe neighborhood. Kemel was also an attentive host and accommodated a late arrival.

THE BEST VRBO EVER

What an amazing view it was, it worths a lot for me. I didn't even want to go out. Especially early in the morning it was unbeatable. It has .almost 360 degrees view from both balconies. It was really awesome to see all bosphorous and golden horn at the same time. I see the view of Hagi Sophia; Blue mosque and Topkapı palace. The neighboorhood has to many classy restaurants and cafes. The apartment is just in the middle of everything you easily reach to İstiklal streer, Galataport and tram stations- ı will definitly turn back.

Great views at a great price

The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the views were absolutely Million Dollar, as advertised. But, it is an old building and you are in a 5th floor walk up. The section of town is quaint, and if you don't want to be in the heart of the city, it is a 10 minute walk to public transportation to get to where you are going. However, don't expect Uber to find you easily. Kemal was a fantastic host, communication was easy, prompt and accurate, and he lives in the building, so he is quick to respond to any issues you are having. If you are in Istanbul for a short stay, the price is right and the location is fine. However, if you are on an extended vacation, you may want to spend more money to get closer to the action and accessibility.

Superb stay - wonderful location

The host is an absolute star and makes the trip - constantly checking in to make sure all was well and providing anything we required - he was fantastic Apartment is wonderful and suits all needs perfectly - four flights of stairs to tackle daily and remember İstanbul is built on a number of hills! Location is perfect - ten mins walk from Taksim Sq and also Galataport and really easy to cross the bridge to get to the Blue Mosque etc And yes - we usually got an Uber back each day as it was uphill - taxis are sooooo cheap in Istanbul

Stay in Kabatas, Beyoglu

Huseyin Kemal was a fantastic host. He communicated promptly to all emails and offered excellent suggestions for restaurants and transportation options. The apartment had amazing views and was perfectly located for exploring the Beyoglu neighborhood and offered easy access by tram to old town historic sites. Nothing but kudos for this place!

Million dollar view for sure and a good workout as well

The view is mesmerizing and the apartment was plenty spacious for my wife and adult daughter. Some initial wifi issues were quickly resolved by our host who also rescued me after I left my phone in a cab. Thanks, Kemal! Quiet comfort for sleeping. Full kitchen except for a microwave allowed for some meals in. Climbing four flights of stairs after navigating a day on Istanbul's hills posed a challenge for this formerly-in-shape traveler. But if you want a stunning view paired with a good cardio workout, this is your place.

Wonderful Stay

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this cute and quaint apartment. It was like being home in Istanbul. The view is absolutely incredible and we often sat outside to watch the boats and cruise ships sail in and out of the Bosphorus. You can also see Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the bridges from the apartment. Although this is not a luxurious apartment, it is well worth staying here because it offers all the amenities of home including air conditioning and a good kitchen to make our morning coffee. The apartment is situated close to all the attractions, restaurants, and coffee shops and yet a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of a large city. My teen daughter, husband, and I stayed in this apartment for 7 nights and it was wonderful. There are many stairs to climb to get to the apartment, but this was not a problem for my family. The host was so kind and helpful and always offered super helpful attraction tips. The apartment has such sweet and helpful tenants who also were wonderful. A great place to stay!

Best View in Istanbul

This is a fabulous apartment in the heart of Istanbul. It was an easy walk to Istiklal Street and even the Grand Bazaar was not a far walk. There are restaurants close by as well as the sea port. The view is absolutely incredible and breathtaking. The call to prayer announced throughout the city and the sunsets were particular highlights. Our hosts Kemal and Didem were very attentive and responsive to all communication very rapidly even though we booked on very short notice. My only advice would be for people with limited mobility as the apartment is on the top floor and there is no elevator so you must be good with a lot of stairs and Istanbul is very hilly in general so be advised. Otherwise I can't say enough good things about this place. Cheers Kemal and Didem!

Beautiful penthouse overlooking the Golden Horn and Bosphorous

The condo was in a very chic historic neighborhood full of intellectuals and cats. There are many hills and stairs to get around in the neighborhood and is a good way to explore and exercise at the same time. The condo itself is located on the fourth floor with no elevator but once you get up there you are in a stress free zone with a magnificent view. Galataport which is a brand new shopping and eating district is a 7 minute walk down from the condo with some of the best that Istanbul has to offer. It is also within walking distance of some of the most historic sites of Istanbul including Galata tower, spice market and the covered bazaar. Bring a comfortable pair of shoes and get ready to experience an adventure!

Trillion dollar view

This place was stunning! Book now! You have the best view of instanbul. You can see everything, the blue mosque and hagia sophia! The water is stunning. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning. It's a great vibe of younger /mid 30s just 5 min away. Great food and cocktail bars a set of stairs away. It's a 10 min walk to the galaport. 10 min walk to the trains. The apartment itself is top floor , be ready for stairs but honestly so clean and comfortable. They have ac/heater in the bedroom which was nice. And you cannot beat this balcony . But the view of the water and landmarks was unreal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And the host was lovely! Will be back again.

Cool apartment with a stunning view in a trendy area.

We had a brilliant time. I have travelled to Istanbul many times and like to stay outside of the tourist zone. I knew the area has the best views of the Bosphorus and this is one of the best I have seen in the city. Be warned that, Cihangir is still an "up and coming area", with lots of artists and cool restaurants. You need to want to be here as we did - for Londoners it's like Shoreditch was 15 - 20 years ago. That said, I never felt unsafe walking back from nearby restaurants after dark with young kids.

Great view! Big space!

In crowded Istanbul sometimes finding a quiet oasis is the biggest challenge and this spot certainly delivered. The apartment was spacious, giving us plenty of room to spread out, and well positioned in the city between Taksim, Galataport, and the Old Town. One thing, prepare for stairs and steep hills. This wasn't an issue for us (it helped work off all the great food that we ate) but leave a buffer of time when getting around for this. Cihangir is an up and coming neighborhood with lots of young people and residents but there is activity and coffee shops to stop into. This apartment isn't the most luxurious of experiences but it is clean, spacious, and felt like a home away from home which is exactly what we were looking for.

Really magical, beautiful view

Would like to tell some words about really nice apartment, that I stayed. The view is unbelievable beautiful. U can see Bosphorous, Maiden Tower, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Old city, Galataport, Galata Tower,big cruise ships. The apartment is enough big. Interior is very cosy. For me is always important apartment have to be clean. So it's absolutely suits my preferences. Everything that u need inside. Apartment is located in a center of all sightseeings, around there are too many cafes, restaurants, bars, shops. Also the owner of apartment is a very polite and helpful man. Advice to everyone to stay in this apartment for staying and spending time in Istanbul.
