Have you ever hamam-ed? ✨

If the answer is no, then 20 mins walk from our apartments @kilicalipasahamami will most definitely help. You can treat yourself to a fabulous experience of the age old tradition in a beautifully restored 16th century building. It was designed and built by the great Ottoman architect Sinan for the Ottoman navy and now offers a very professional experience for women in the mornings and men in the afternoon/evenings.

This was the homemade sherbet drink given on arrival to our apartment guests who recently booked in for a ‘Hamam Ritual’ - emerging thoroughly cleansed, relaxed, pink and shiny 👌🏻

We recently hosted a wonderful book group of 7 ladies from England - here are 3 of them waiting for the other 4 🤪

They had a bedroom each across 2 of the Petraki Place Apartments. It was a fabulous stay, with lots of meals out, a group hamam visit, Kapalı Çarşı shopping and packing in most of the top sights in Sultanahmet.

Regrouping at sunset for drinks on the roof terrace each evening was a magical way to experience the call to prayer across the city and Istanbul worked its charms as ever 👌🏻

Do you have a shared-interest club who’d enjoy an Istanbul adventure? Save this post for future reference!

We can host large groups in the same building across 2 or 3 apartments, but do book well in advance to secure your preferred apartment combination.

Have you made friends or perhaps fallen in love with Istanbul yet?

If not, let us help. This vibe and view are waiting for you from the private roof terrace of Pasha Penthouse. Other apartments (there are 11 in the Istanbul Place collection) have others and no doubt you’ll find your own as you explore too.

Our thoughts are with precious Istanbul tonight, tomorrow May 14th and always ❤️

Meet The Team ✨ Do you know Taşkın? We’re fortunate to have had him with us for the last 5 years.

Taşkın - pronounced “Tashkuhn” - is our skilled and lovely manager in Galata. When you arrive at your apartment he’ll welcome you with grace, show how things work and help with any questions you might have. From then on he’s only a phone call or WhatsApp message away, should you need any support during your stay 💫

Having worked in the Istanbul tourism sector for many years, his English, patience and positive outlook are great! He has two adult children - Irem and Emir - and lives across the Golden Horn with his wife Sevda. We’re very lucky to have him on our business journey with us 🧿

It’s official - here at Istanbul Place Apartments we’ve been in business for 15 years! 🙌🏻

So much has happened in that time, with Istanbul’s Gezi civil uprising, coup attempt and a global pandemic keeping us on our toes 😳🤪

But we’re still here, still in love with this amazing city and still doing our very best for its historic apartments. We’re still #1 on TripAdvisor too.

As time passes so quickly, when are you returning/coming to see for yourself? We really hope to host you soon!

Do you have a favourite view of Istanbul? ✨

The weather’s absolutely gorgeous at the moment with blue skies, 20 degree sunshine and beautiful views in every direction.

This one’s across the Golden Horn and up to Galata, from a Bosphorus tour boat just leaving Eminönü with some of our guests aboard - a fun way to see the city from new angles, with some fresh spring air 👌🏻

When you stay in one of our historic apartments this view - and Galata Tower - will guide you home afterwards.

Do you like to watch TV during a city-break? We’d love to know… (it’ll help us decide what to prioritise upgrading)

Each of our Istanbul Place Apartments has a smart TV with access to Netflix, Prime and YouTube. Also cosy reading spots and books, so hopefully you’ll feel you have choices.

But maybe you’re too busy out adventuring to have time for either?!

Opinions please! This is a new mirror for Shah Place III - our latest apartment project finished last week, just in time for its first guests 😅

The top addition was a final gut-felt flourish from me @juliabayne in a state of exhaustion, after long days and nights working on it all.

It’s a flea-market-found-remnant of an Ottoman ‘sedef’ mirror frame, made of wire-bound mother-of-pearl on wood. Somehow it seemed natural to give it back some sense of place with a contemporary mirror... across the significant generation gap.

What do you think? Do you like it or have I lost the plot?!

This cat was trying to muster the courage to take the dog biscuit left by a passer-by for the sleeping pooch 🤪

Do you know the Galata street dogs? Four or five snooze every morning on the pavements around the Tower - and often wake up to find gifts have been left for them 🥰

So are you hoping for the cat to be stealthy or the dog to wake up?!

Sunday night cocktails @moretenders 👌🏻

Catching up with each other (@juliabayne and @tarkancetindamar) before a busy few days ahead. Arguably indulgent 🤔 but after a couple of weeks apart it has to be done.

We highly recommend Moretenders - just making absolutely sure again! - for atmosphere and mixological skills. It’s 5 mins walk away, in Asmalımescit, when you stay in an Istanbul Place Apartment ✨

Pasha Place Apartment has just had a furniture upgrade 🙌🏻

The bedrooms remain the same - stylish as ever! - but we’ve gone more #hipstoric 🤪 in the living room, using restful green velvets. You can still sit at the bar table by the bay window with its Bosphorus views - it’s just out of shot in these pictures.

We love its refreshed vibe and hope you will too when you stay🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just arrived! 🙌🏻

New cushion covers for the apartment we’re currently working on - Shah Place III Apartment. If you’ve stayed with us before in Shah Place I or II, you’ll know what a great building it is, with fabulous frescoes that are not a little tricky to work with. It’s still being painted but we’re planning ahead and the colours are coming together, phew! 😅

Do you like them as much as we do?!

Flowers somehow help with everything don’t they…❤️‍🩹

Istanbul has a citywide Tulip Festival in spring - perhaps you’ve visited for it before?

Ottoman society adored tulips and Istanbul - then widely known as Constantinople - was very famous for its special cultivars. From the late 17th to the early 18th Century #tulipfever spread steadily west 💫

The earthquake situation in the South East of Turk

The earthquake situation in the South East of Turkey is horrendous and unbelievably heartbreaking - the trauma of it continues and surely will do for years and decades to come.

Thanks for your many messages to us of concern. I hope we’ve been able to answer all individually.

We’re not directly affected - our family, friends and guests are safe in Istanbul, which is functioning as usual yet with a massive outpouring of love from its people translating into donating, volunteering and organising to get supplies out to where they are most needed.

What more can be said I don’t know 💔

We appreciate your thoughts for Türkiye at this time.

Is it ‘us’ ?!

Pasha Penthouse Apartment is ready! 🙌🏻

Our most recent Istanbul Place project is now finished and photographed, so a few minutes’ feet up with a cuppa feels very necessary. Do you like the carpet? It’s a vintage one we were delighted to find, as the colours and subtle pattern really compliment the interior decor and incredible views from this spot 👌🏻

We’re calling it Pasha Penthouse as its private roof terrace is very ‘million dollar’ with 180 degree cityscape all the way from the Bosphorus bridge around the Golden Horn to Galata Tower.

✨ 2 double bedrooms
✨ beautifully fitted out and furnished
✨ Galata’s most high-end street
✨ quiet and private
✨ 5th floor walk-up and so worth it!

When are you coming to try it out?

It’s not been the easiest of years but along the way we’ve so loved being in touch with you online and hosting all our wonderful guests. Thanks for your part in it 🥰

Were you able to stay with us?

The Sema ceremony pictured is from Galata Mevlevihanesi just up the hill and reminds us of Rumi’s words:

“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”

If this resonates with you and you’re tempted in an Istanbul direction, we’d be delighted to see you in 2023 ✨
