About this property

Istanbul Gem: 3-Bedroom Apartment with Panoramic Terrace and Iconic Sea Views

Immerse yourself in the mystical charm of Balat, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our flat features an expansive terrace with stunning 360-degree views of Istanbul and the sea. From here, you can see iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia, Galata Tower, and the Blue Mosque, as well as the ancient Byzantium city walls. Located just 30 seconds from the sea, tram line, and ferry station, our villa offers unbeatable convenience. The tram station right outside takes you to major attractions in 5 minutes.

Our 3-bedroom, 1-living room apartment is located on the first floor of a building with only two apartments, situated in Balat on the shores of the Golden Horn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s just a 30-second walk to both the sea and the tram line, which connects you to major tourist spots in just 5-10 minutes. The Eyüp Sultan Mosque is a 10-minute walk away, and you can enjoy views of the Byzantine city walls right from your window. Additionally, the ferry terminal is equally close, providing a convenient alternative for travel.

The expansive 100-square-meter terrace, located on the third floor and shared with the apartment above, boasts breathtaking views of Istanbul and the sea, offering a truly iconic panorama. It features three large dining tables for up to 20 people, a cozy winter Dome, perfect for enjoying the view and relaxing comfortably in all seasons and a barbecue, making it perfect for entertaining.

The flat itself is 100 square meters and is fully equipped.

The nearby ferry terminal, also within walking distance, offers a scenic route to Kadıköy, Üsküdar, and other charming neighborhoods on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Being located on a main street along the shore, taxis are readily available right in front of the house. If you’re traveling by car, there is secure private parking available for an additional fee.

Nice place

The apartment was very nice, clean, and the terrace was very charming. It is a little noisy, as one side faces the road and another side faces a university, but it didn’t bother us much. The host was communicative and responded fast when we needed. The only thing we didn’t like was the neighborhood, but it is safe and 10 minutes drive to everything in Istanbul. We would recommend the place to other guests.

What an amazing Terrace

Stayed here for 5 days with friends and it was great. The beds are comfy and clean and the apartments had all the amenities we needed. The terrace is exactly as pictured and had an amazing view and comfy seats to sit a chat with friends. Easy to get into and Murat was really helpful and replied quickly to all messages. The location is a little bit out from the attractions but there is a regular tram right outside that takes you into them. Taxis are reasonably priced and lots go past the front door all the time that you can hail. There is a corner store for food and alcohol near by and a could of friendly places to eat. Overall very pleased and would definitely recommend to others - particularly a group of friends.

Great Apartment Very Close to Everything

Wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There's a tram across the street and buses down the block that will bring you anywhere you wish to go. The beds are comfortable and the roof deck was amazing. Two things to be aware of: the two bedrooms that face the street can be loud (Istanbul does not sleep!), and the back bedroom smells of old cigarette smoke. I was not always aware of it while I was there (and the rest of the apartment didn't seem to smell as strongly of smoke), but when I got home and unpacked, my clothing smelled very strongly of smoke (I am not a smoker). That said, I would stay in the apartment again in a heartbeat. It was so close to everything and incredibly convient.
