Spectacular View of the Bosporus, the Bridge and Asia!
We wanted a place from which to view all the action on the Bosporus and boy, did we get it.
The apartment is up high, overlooking the Kabatas ferry port, the Bosporus bridge, and across to Asia. My husband fell in love with watching the incredibly busy boat traffic from the terrace.
The apartment is a 7-story walk-up which we appreciated because we ate so much good food. It’s comfortable and nicely-kitted out. There are markets and restaurants everywhere.
The location is very hilly but it’s easy to walk down to the port area to catch a taxi, a tram, a bus or any number of boats.
We recommend Get Your Guide’s Istanbul: Bosporus Sunset Cruise on a Luxury Yacht (not as expensive as it sounds) for a beautiful history lesson and the ferry across to the Asian side of Turkey.
We also recommend Airbnb’s Experience in Fatih hosted by Cihan, a world-class tour guide.
Our hosts, Ecem and Turaç, were incredibly responsive and helpful. All in all, we had a great stay.
