The building entrance is on a characterful cobbled street, packed with intriguing boutiques and cafés. A few floors up on the roof-top, a shared terrace has gorgeous views across Golden Horn to the Old City.
It’s about 3 minutes walk to Sishane metro station, less than 5 minutes walk to Tünel funicular and a short downhill walk to connect with the tram for Sultanahmet. Famous Istiklal Avenue is less than 10 minutes walk up the hill.
As you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting hall leading into a beautifully appointed living area. The space harmoniously combines a cozy living room, complete with a flat-screen TV and plush sofa, with an adjacent dining area and a sleek, fully-equipped kitchen. This open-plan layout is perfect for both relaxation and socializing.
The apartment unfolds over two levels, featuring three meticulously designed bedrooms. On the ground floor, discover a serene double bedroom with easy access to a chic, family-sized bathroom. Connected to this is a quaint third bedroom, ideal for a child or a close friend, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests. Descend to the lower level to find another enchanting double bedroom boasting an en-suite shower room. All bedrooms have high quality crisp white linens.
This apartment is 100 m2 in total, with lovely vaulted high ceilings. A few of the walls have been stripped back to brick which gives a cosy atmosphere. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate five people.
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.
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 only a phone call or email away.

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…

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.
