House Kumkapi

Istanbul House is a private, fully renovated townhouse located in the historic district of Kumkapı – one of the oldest and most atmospheric neighborhoods in Istanbul.

The house extends over four floors and offers plenty of space for families, couples, or small groups looking for both comfort and authenticity. It features five bedrooms (three double beds, two single beds), two modern bathrooms, a fully equipped open kitchen, and cozy living areas filled with natural light.

Highlights include a charming bay window, a private balcony, and stylish interior touches that combine local character with modern design.

All major sights – including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, and Topkapi Palace – are within walking distance, yet the house itself is quietly tucked away in a peaceful side street.

Whether you're visiting for a few days or a few weeks, this is your perfect home base to explore the city.

Istanbul House is ideally located for exploring the city on foot and by public transport.

Major landmarks such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar are within a 15-minute walk.

The Marmaray train station (Kumkapı) is just a few minutes away and connects you quickly to the Asian side of Istanbul, as well as to hubs like Sirkeci and Yenikapı.

The T1 tram line (Beyazıt or Cemberlitas stop) is also nearby, offering direct access to Karaköy, Galata, and Taksim. Taxis and ride-sharing apps like BiTaksi or Uber are easy to use and reliable.

If you're feeling adventurous, the ferries from Eminönü offer a beautiful way to explore the Bosphorus.

Kumkapı is one of Istanbul’s oldest and most culturally rich neighborhoods, located just steps away from Sultanahmet and the city’s major landmarks.

Historically known for its fishing community and Armenian heritage, today it offers a vibrant mix of old-world charm and everyday local life.

You’ll find narrow cobbled streets, traditional houses, local markets, and small family-run restaurants – including the famous fish taverns of Kumkapı, just around the corner.

The area is authentic, full of character, and gives you a true sense of Istanbul beyond the typical tourist routes.

Despite its central location, Kumkapı remains a peaceful place to stay – perfect for travelers who want to be close to the action but live like a local.
