Bazaar Living in Istanbul is a life of indolence and energy, efficiency and warmth - it is like sharing your room with a person who has two distinctly different but enagaging personas. Europe and Asia meet in all their glory in this city separated by the dazzling Bosphorous.

Simeon Mitropolitski, a Canadian analyst quotes an old saying that assures you that in a bazaar in Istanbul you can find anything at all - even milk from a chicken - and in this case, residential real estate to suit anyone's pocket. He gives us a rundown of the real estate scene in Istanbul with per square meter and per month rates ranging from $150 per month to $25,000 per month!

King of My Castle
July 27, 2006

Venaparts If you’re like me, you like to spend at least 6 months in one place, soaking in its people, culture, atmosphere. You want to be recognized by its people and speak haltingly in their language.
You want to be part of the breath of the city and you may as well start right by living in an authentic Venetian house. Home after all does define who you are. And for a short while, you could be Venetian.
Staying in a city of doges and palaces, artists and their garrets, it’s only fair that you live like one of them. Whether you want a one bedroom apartment or a palazzo, feel like a native by renting an apartment, big or small, palatial or homely.

If you’re looking for a one bedroom place that could easily sleep four people, I particularly like one called Ca’ Vitturi located in the heart of the city at San Marco. The very tones of the apartment are enough to put you in a holiday mood… warm oranges, deep blue curtains, wooden beams gracing ceilings and spacious white flooring and walls invite you in. At 930 euros for 7 nights, the price of the apartment includes gas, electricity, linen and final cleaning.

For a pallazi experience, take a look at Ca’ Grand Canal. This ground floor apartment near San Marco, as the name suggests, boasts a spectacular view of the Grand Canal. You could stand on a terrace over the canal and toast the stars or keep company with the Salute Church.
What really sold me on it though, was the private garden.
Brick red tiles, dark and faded adorned with fresh green creepers, a lounging chair for a lazy afternoon or breakfast on a fresh morning… had this vision not been enough to tempt me, the practicalities such as the three doubled beds, 2 single beds, bathrooms and spacious living area certainly appealed at 5800 Euros for 7 nights.

For a more graceful choice, I’d suggest Ca’ Giulia. Though one of its rooms seems a trifle over-green for sleeping in, the lovely striped living room with its huge windows promising breathtaking views and sunlight pouring in does make you feel like a cat finding warm, soft contentment. Situated at Cannaregio, it can house 6 people for 3000 Euros over 7 nights.

I think my predilection for wood is going to become apparent with my fourth recommendation – Ca’ Vidal. (and to think I recycle paper!)
This third floor apartment with lift overlooking the Academia Bridge and is situated on the top floor of a palazzo on the Grand Canal. With a double bedroom, twin bedroom and completely furnished kitchen done up deliciously in gleaming wood and stone, this place is like a retreat. Whether you imagine you’re a princess locked in the tower or a small ruffian hiding in the attic, the slanted ceilings do add to the adventure of the place.

For more choices and details on one and two bed roomed as well as large apartments take a look at the homes on offer. I trawled through a great many of them just for the pleasure of looking (!!) and I can tell you most are pretty darned… pretty! Check out locations and grab a place near your interest… whether it’s the Fenice theatre, St. Mark’s Square or a quiet little neighborhood.
