Property Description
Situated right on the Bosporus, this contemporary penthouse apartment is immersed in spectacular sights of the city worthy of Sultans. It’s truly breathtaking to enjoy your morning coffee on a comfortable sofa while gazing at iconic monuments and the ferries cruising along. When you’re ready to head out to explore, the touristic epicenter of Taksim Square, posh streets of Nişantaşı district or the recently modernized hip Karaköy neighborhood are all awaiting to entertain you.
The building is named Samibey, built by and named after my late grandfather Dr. Zülfü Sami Özgen and served as the family’s main residence for over 30 years. This fourth-floor penthouse apartment has recently been completely stripped down, renovated and refurbished with brand new furniture and equipment for the comfort and pleasure of our guests.
The 120m2 apartment has been re–designed with a spacious living room and open kitchen setting, offering a lounge area as well as a dining area for the purpose of convenience and coziness. The doorway opens to the center of these areas. As you enter the space you find the living room and the dining area situated on your right, facing the Bosporus and the kitchen directly across. The living room area offers a dinner table, comfortable sofas (one becomes a bed) around a coffee table and a TV with cable.
The kitchen is equipped with brand new appliances such as oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, coffee makers (filter and Turkish), kettle, toaster, pots and pans, plates, cutlery, utensils and basic cooking ingredients.
Two full bathrooms are located along the hallway that leads to the rear of the apartment. Both bathrooms have been modernized for guests’ hygiene and comfort.
All three bedrooms are located along this hallway. Two of the bedrooms have mesmerizing views of the Bosphorus and the other one faces the trees in the back. The master bedroom has a king bed and the other two have queen beds all with fresh linens, extra pillows and blankets for those guests that seek added comfort and warmth, as well as ample wardrobe space for heavy packers. All rooms are equipped with A/C units for those hot summer days.
A large communal garden located on the ground floor of the building is available for the pleasure of our guests along with other residents, presenting ample green grass to lie on and an assortment of trees to relax under.About pets:Pets allowed: limit 2 total.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 2:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

Kabatas holiday
This apartment was a great home base for exploring Istanbul. The panoramic view from the apartment made walking up the four flights of stairs worthwhile. We all loved watching the boat parade.

Not meeting our expectations
While the property benefits from an excellent location and beautiful views, unfortunately, the level of cleanliness fell far below our expectations. Upon arrival, we removed our shoes at the door as we were traveling with young children and preferred to keep the apartment shoe-free. However, the floors were noticeably dirty — they had clearly not been mopped or even swept, with visible debris throughout. Additionally, the bed linens appeared unwashed, with visible stains and an unpleasant odor. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and in this case, it was severely lacking.

Great view, amazing apartment
This is the third time we have stayed in this apartment - it is one of our favourites in the world. We love the main room and the view over the Bosporus, but every room is big, clean, bright and nice. The hosts are spectacular - our flight was badly delayed, and they were happy to check us in at an unreasonable hour, even on a Sunday night. We look forward to renting again next year already.

Great View
Great location, near the stadium, public transport, and a great view of the Bosporus. The property manager was very helpful in helping us arrange things.

Lovely place
We stayed in this place with kids, It is a lovely place, clean, and fully equipped with a tea & coffee maker and a washer/dryer. The location is just perfect, amazing view overlooking Dolmabahçe Palace and the Bosphorus. Easy access to public transport. Would definitely save this vrbo for our next visit to Istanbul

Convenient location, great views
Building is short walk to T1 tram that goes through the old city and F1 funicular that goes up to Taksim square.
The unit is exactly as described with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. The mosque across the street sings calls to prayer to give a great feeling of place. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and dishes but only coffee, tea and oil for meal preparation. We did not cook. Street traffic is heavy and constant but the excellent windows lower the sound immensely. The garden is not very maintained but we never had time to consider relaxing there.
In the neighborhood are only a few restaurants within immediate walking distance. Markets nearby supply the basics including fresh fruit.
All in all a great, reasonably quiet space for our one week stay.

Magical istanbul
We loved our time in this beautiful, ancient city. And our experience was enhanced by this lovely property. Walking distance to the ferry terminal, the tram line and Galata made this charming aparythe ideal location for our visit. Emir was wonderful to work with and the property manager, Tuna was amazing. She made restaurant recommendations, coordinated airport transportation and was available by WhatsApp if we had any questions. The apartment is a clean, sun filled space with views of the Bosphorous. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. Well appointed kitchen, washing machine for a quick mid adventure freshen up of clothing, internet and the view!!! We hope to come back and will absolutely stay here again.

Enjoyed stay with one exception
I would give the property 5 stars. But i am giving it only 4 stars, because of unsatisfactory Internet connection. The Interned usually worked for a few minutes and then the service dropped out and was unavailable for hours.
