Some useful rooftop view recommendations from Condé Nast Traveler ✨

Of course we also recommend the shared terraces on the rooftops of most of our apartment buildings! 👌🏻

You can pop up any time during your stay for a quiet moment or a drink with your friends/family. If you’ve stayed with us before did you do this?

It’s Book Direct Day 2026 today ✨

When you know, like and trust property owners, booking directly with them is a wonderful way to support their short stay business, while the advantages for yourself as guest can be significant.

It really is a win-win… and we’re all here for that.

Same stay. Better experience. Clear conscience.

"During this (Ottoman) period, local foundations made sure that stray animals were taken care of. That love for strays turned into a full-time profession when a job called mancacı "cat sitter" was created.”

Stay in one of the historic apartments we offer in Galata to experience street cat culture in contemporary life! 🐾

From Ottoman "cat sitters" to modern-day street guardians, Istanbul's bond with its cats runs centuries deep.
