Brand New Renovation right next to Galata Tower!
About this condo rental
Situated in Istanbul, this attractive condo for $252 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Our apartment is on the third floor - three flights of original marble stairs - of a grand 19th-century building with lion motifs, right next to the beautiful Galata Tower. From some windows, you feel you can reach out and touch the tower. The living room overlooks the lively pedestrianised square below, while the kitchen and one bedroom have glimpses across the Golden Horn. The bedrooms are stylish: two doubles and one twin, each with chic velvet headboards and high quality crisp white linens. One of the doubles is very big with lots of space for an additional folding bed. There's a contemporary and chic, well-equipped kitchen with high-end appliances including dish-washer. The separate dining area is just outside the kitchen. In the comfortable living room there's a feather-cushioned sofa, armchair and bar table with stools overlooking the tower. The shower room has a smart rain shower plus loo and there's a second separate loo along the spacious hallway. This apartment is big at 120 m2 in total. It's bright and welcoming with large windows and lovely high ceilings. The exposed floorboards are all original and the wooden panelled doors have been retained. The living room has it's original ornate white plaster ceiling and the overall feel is of space and elegance. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate six people. Guests will have the complete privacy of the entire apartment. 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 always only a phone call or email away. Galata has a genuine, very welcoming and diverse community with an intriguing mix of cafes, restaurants, small grocery shops and artistic boutiques. Elegant 19th Century buildings line cobbled streets, with discoveries waiting around every corner. No matter where you wander, you’ll always find your way back to Galata Tower, which has been a well-loved landmark for the last 700 years. Metro, bus, tram and ferry stops are all only a few minutes walk away. The famous Istiklal Avenue is around 5 minutes stroll. You can be in Sultanahmet (for the big sights of Ayasofya, Topkapı, Blue Mosque etc.) in about 20 minutes by public transport or 25 minutes on foot. 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… By self-catering right in the local community you’ll quickly become part of it, financially supporting small grocery shops and other family businesses. You’ll soon make relationships with these friendly people and develop a genuine understanding of the culture around you. We’re sure you’ll leave with special memories and more developed perspectives as a result of your encounters. For each confirmed booking we arrange a tree to be planted in Turkey (via TEMA) to offset part of the carbon dioxide emission from the resulting flight. We encourage you to plant more trees: easily arranged during online booking. We use local maintenance and cleaning services for the apartments and in this way we provide a good income for 2 families who lives nearby.We do everything we can to preserve all the original features and materials in the apartments. Where new materials are needed we source them locally, prioritising products that are designed and/or made in Turkey. 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.

Located right beside the galata tower; good place if you want to be at the heart of the action. Julia and Tarkan’s house was super clean, nice and spacious. They also provided a lot of information about istanbul and the places of interest prior to the stay.

We had a great time in the apartment. It's in a cool location, right by the Galata Tower. The apartment itself is large, clean, looks exactly like the photos, and we found it had everything we required. Having air con in every bedroom was a huge bonus. Tarkan was also already at the apartment when we arrived, greeting us with a friendly face and lots of useful information. Highly recommend this place!

We are 4 friends and rented the apartment for 10 days. The apartment is large and nicely cut. It is stylishly furnished and very clean. It is centrally located, 5-10 walking minutes can be reached by the popular iStiklal-Caddesi. There are many restaurants, cafes in front of the door. The location of the apartment is just perfect. The handover of the keys was also flawless. On the day of departure we were allowed to stay until the late afternoon because our flight only went back in the evening. The hosts are really friendly and courteous.
We felt at home in the apartment! We would like to travel to Istanbul again this year and rent this apartment again!

We had a great stay in the apartment which was in an excellent location right next to Galata Tower and walking distance from Sultanamet. Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars in close proximity. The apartment itself was very clean and really good size. Would definitely recommend this place to friends.

Thank you to the owners for a wonderful stay! Communication was great before and during the trip. The apartment was in a perfect location to easily move around the city. And the description wasn't joking when it says you feel like you can touch the tower from your window! It was well appointed and gad everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

We loved the location of this apartment, and found it to be very convenient to all of the places we wanted to see in Istanbul. The neighborhood is vibrant with so much to do - plenty of restaurants and close to public transit. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable and much more spacious than we expected. We were greeted by Sule, who gave us a great primer on the neighborhood as well as important information about the apartment. We had no need to contact the hosts, as everything worked perfectly, but they were definitely available if needed. They also arranged for transport from the airport, which made the trip easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!

This was our first time in Istanbul and I was blown away by the beauty of the City. But the apartment was the icing on the cake. Great location with so many great places to eat and drink on our doorstep.
It was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. The apartment was on the third floor though with no lift, which was not a problem for us, but might be something to consider when booking.

This place is truly great. Such a beautiful apartment and at a perfect location to see everything in Beyoğlu/İstanbul. The apartment itself was clean and in great shape. You have access to everything you need right outside the building and being right next to Galata Tower gives you beautiful views. I highly recommend booking this place if you’re staying in Beyoğlu.

Superbe appartement dans un endroit fantastique. Au pied de la tour de Galata. quartier très vivant. Beaucoup de restaurants et magasins à proximité, dans très pratique. Le quartier a une vraie âme sympa, nous nous y sommes vraiment senti bien. Ne loupez pas l'une des recommandations de Julia And Tarkan, allez manger chez Tom Tom Kebap, vraiment top!

We (one adult and three teenagers) stayed for a lovely weekend in Julia's and Tarkan's place within spitting distance of the Galata Tower. Lovely! Loved the lively and walkable neighborhood. In short, everything about our stay was great... check-in was smooth, the place was very clean, well-appointed and comfortable. Would happily stay here again, and would happily recommend it to others! Thanks, Julia and Tarkan, for making the place available to us :-)

Stylish, historic apartment a couple of meters from the Galata Tower with fantastic views from the windows. Very clean, with comfortable beds and excellent working plumbing.
The lovely manager met us at the apartment, helped with things, everything was shown, explained.
The location of the apartment is excellent. Not far from the house there are many cozy restaurants, nice shops, but at the same time it was very quiet in the apartment.
Thanks Julia and Tarkan, we had a great time.

This place is SO gorgeous – brilliantly located and beautifully decorated. Julia was looking after us for the weekend and was extremely communicative and lovely. She gave us travel cards we could top up to get around when we checked in, and let us keep our luggage in storage after checkout on the last day so that we could maximise our weekend in the city. We couldn't have been better looked after !

Fantastisk leilighet midt i smørøyet i bydelen Beyoglu. Kort vei til alt. Leiligheten er romslig med gode soverom og alle fasiliteter. Skal du besøke Istanbul noen dager er dette et prima sted å bo. God og profesjonell kommunikasjon. Rent og ryddig. Tilogmed en nabokatt som passer på i oppgangen 😃.

Julia and Tarkan were really attentive! They sent us a lot of useful information about the town. Main sights of the town located close to the apartments. Flat in really nice with everything you need for comfortable staying. We are still impressed by our staying in Istanbul and hope to return!
5.0
This is a beautiful, historic apartment, full of generous space and light and renovated/equiped to the highest standards. Tarkan was very helpful with our check-in process and speaks excellent English.
The area immediately around the Galata Tower is very focussed on tourism, but with easy access to the Galata Bridge, tram, Golden Horn ferries etc the apartment provided an excellent location for exporing Istanbul's varied districts (thank you Tarkan for providing travel cards).

since the galata tower is next to the appartement we were able to visit the galata tower early in the morning and had a view of istanbul while the city was still sleeping. So beautiful!

Great 3 bed apartment, was suitable for a group of 4 adults sharing (two in the room with 2 single beds). Directly across from Galata tower, and convenient to get across the bridge or to the Anatolian side by ferry or train. Would definitely recommend!!

Ce fut un très bon séjour ! Notre hôte a été très serviable du début à la fin. L'endroit était impeccablement propre et tout ce dont nous avions besoin. L’emplacement idéal et il n’était pas bruyant, même si on était collé à la tour Galata. Merci beaucoup pour tout!

The apartment is very spacious, good equipped, and the location is just perfect! Everything is exactly the same as on the photos. I would totally recommend it to anyone who's visiting Istanbul. We were afraid it would be noisy, but it was actually fine (considering that we were staying around the New Year celebrations). We also got tons of useful info from our hosts about the city and restaurants which is a nice bonus. If we are ever in Istanbul again, I already know where we are staying :)

Likely to be the best place to stay in Istanbul (as tourist). The place is very spacious, comfortable and nicely renovated. It is literally just a few steps from Galata Tower, very nice neighborhood close enough (walling distance) to all historic landmarks and nice restaurants in Karaköy but without hassle of Sultanahmet.

The apartment is just as beautiful and spacious as described and also very clean. Communication with the hosts was very easy and we were welcomed very warmly. Location is just perfect for a stay in Istanbul. As soon as you walk out the door you are in the heart of Istanbul. The Galata Tower is so close that you can almost touch it :). My best stay in Istanbul so far!
