Trendy Waterfront Apt. with a Striking View
Situated right on the Bosporus, this trendy, modern apartment boasts spectacular views 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 second-floor apartment has recently been completely stripped down, renovated and refurbished with new furniture and equipment for the comfort and pleasure of our guests.
The 75m2 apartment has been re–designed with a spacious living room 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 left, and right, facing the Bosporus. The living room area offers a dinner table, comfortable sofas (one becomes a bed) around a coffee table and a TV with cable.
Two bathrooms are located at either end of a hallway that leads to the rear of the apartment. Both bathrooms have been modernized for guests’ hygiene and comfort.
As you walk up the hallway, you find the kitchen right after the first bathroom. It is equipped with brand new appliances such as stove, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, coffee makers (filter and Turkish), kettle, toaster, pots and pans, plates, cutlery, utensils and basic cooking ingredients.
Both bedrooms are located along this hallway. They offer queen beds 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. Both 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.

Fascinating and beautiful mornings with clear view over the Bosohorus, sunsparkle on the water in the mornings, fascinating views, day and night, of ships and watercraft, freighters to ferries to private boats -- as many as 15-20 vessels in view at some moments. The apartment has an unobstructed view of the waterside and ferry terminal a ross the street! Recommended!

TIME TO UPGRADE THE PRODUCT
The Positves:
Location to transport links, some key places of interests Asia side and views of the Bosphorus is excellent.
Rooms are spacious and kitchen well equipped.
Beds were comfortable.
Hotwater was good and excellent flow.
Emir- the owner was excellent with pre-arrival communication.
The Negatives:
Stench from the bathrooms spoilt our 7 days stay. We requested bleech, but this made no difference.
Noise from the major street traffic was continuous 24 hours. We could not keep the front window facing the Bosphorous open.
The operation of the tv was complex. We had to ask the check-in person to visit and show us how to do it.
The settees need cleaning and the mat under the settees is warped. We tripped on it a few times. It needs replacing. An accident waiting to happen!
Walls and some areas need repainting. Example - in the hall-way and kitchen.
There was no essential information for guests in the apartment like what to do in emergency.
No lift to the 2nd floor, so not suitable for people who have physical mobility challenges.
The Check-In process was done in haste. The gentleman did not show us around the apartment, how to use the equipment.
He just told us about how the wifi works and location of 2 local shops, then he left. It was rushed!
The apartment was a good size, very clean and with a great view. Its location is right on the tram line and across from one of the ferry stations. There was no water dispenser, but a shop to pick up and resupply is about 200m away. The wifi needed rebooting occasionally but worked ok otherwise. The manager's husband was very helpful when needed. My only suggestion to the host would be to have kitchen towels handy to avoid paper towel waste.
