To12Apart 2+1 in Old City 2nd Floor
El Bulet always helped us, his brother was very attentive and helped us a lot. We were very happy, only that on the last day of our stay there was no water. He warned us, but it was quite difficult But in general everything is fine, the location is perfect

Modern&Historical 2BR Apartment with AC in Galata
The airy apartment is handsome with beautiful tile floors, with well-chosen if generic ikea furnishings. Important to note that the second bedroom is barely bigger than the bed with an exposed pipe-railing in lieu of a closet. There’s a window overlooking a brick wall with a curtain you won’t want to open so 2nd bedroom is quite inferior to main one. Cheap, bouncy bed pillows are not comfortable and one set of sheets had a hole so bedding could use some attention. LR & kitchen overlook lovely trees, and the handsome, spacious bathroom has two sinks and good lighting. Calm and convenient location with great coffee shop next door, and decent market steps away. Short walk to tram to cross over to must-visit sites, Grand Bazaar, and Spice Market. You can tap your credit card for the tram so it’s super-easy. Istanbul is fascinating and this flat is a great home base to explore. Inci and Alp were lovely and very responsive hosts—even, on one occasion, with a late night emergency issue.

Greystone floor 3 Apartment 4
I absolutely loved Julie’s home and will stay there again when I return to Istanbul. The best part was balconies on both sides of the apartment and the most beautiful sunsets. I enjoyed having my morning cacao in the balcony and work overlooking the lovely city view. The bed, bedding and option to sleep with tempur pillow was the best I ever had in any airbnb so far! I slept so well and wash super refreshed in the morning. I loved how tidy and beautiful whole home was. It has all that you need: well equipped kitchen, iron, washingmachine, hairdryer…I even got a chance to check in early since my flight arrived early morning. Overall 5/5 experience!

2+1 luxury aparment no:2
We were very happy with the apartment. It was very clean and very big, perfect for 5 people. The owner of the apartment was also very friendly and accommodating. He sent us all the necessary information in good time and was always available. If you had any questions you could always write to him and he helped you. He also gave us lots of helpful tips on how best to get around and what was nearby. We can only recommend the apartment 👍🏻 Thank you very much

Large 1+1 House With Kitchen In Sultanahmet
I would stay here again

Lovely studio with air conditioning on Bahariye street
The location of the accommodation was very nice, it was within walking distance to everywhere, there were nice places around the accommodation, the host responded quickly, although I went to Kadıköy early, my accommodation was ready, there was no problem with my early check-in

Modern Penthouse in the Center
We stayed for 3 nights at this place, but I wish it had been longer. I can truly say it was one of the best accommodations we’ve ever experienced. Istanbul is a vibrant city full of hustle and bustle, but the apartment was in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to facilities and amenities. Fatih is the best host ever—he was available instantly and always responded to our questions right away. The apartment was clean, secure, and had a beautiful view of the city. It also offered spacious parking. It’s definitely worth the price you pay. Don’t hesitate to book this place! ☺️

İSTANBUL TOWN CİTY APARTMENT
Incredible stay. The host has been very accommodating and very easy to work with. If you want a hassle free and comfortable stay while also being close to the main attractions, I would highly recommend booking this stay in Istanbul

Whole Flat -Beautiful Seaview, 2min to Centre

Bosphorus Dream in the heart of Istanbul
absolutely gorgeous place...could not get enough of the views. Ulviye was so responsive to all queries .. location is minutes walk to all local metro ferry and bus lines...amazing experience we cannot wait to come.back !

Duplex villa with Bosphorus view (no smoking)
This was our first visit to Istanbul and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Lou's house is very comfortable and the perfect place to relax after a day sight-seeing . The ever-changing view over the Bosphorus is wonderful. The neighbourhood is interesting - narrow cobbled streets ( some are steep ) , plenty of little cafes and restaurants . Lots to see on the waterfront . Transport links are good - we enjoyed travelling on the ferries. They go to Eminonu ; Rumeli Kavagi ( had a delicious lunch at Spor Klubu Tesisleri ) ; Cengelkoy ( then took a bus to Kardikoy and ate at Ciya Sofrasi ) . Bus 22 links up with tram T1 at Kabatas - an alternative to the ferry route to Eminonu . Getting from the airport was straightforward - Metro M11 to Gayrettepe , then taxi. Going back we caught 59CH bus to Gayrettepe - but get to bus stop early - it left before time ! Istanbul is such an interesting city to explore. We had a great holiday - thank you Lou for being the perfect host.

Fully-restored historic Kuzguncuk residence
This was our second time staying at the little white house, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The home was spotless, spacious, and perfect for our family reunion — we felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The neighborhood is beautiful and full of charm, with plenty of great cafes, bars, and shops nearby, and the Bosphorus just a short walk away. Suha and his team are incredibly kind and responsive, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The value for what you get is truly impeccable. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back again in the future. Thank you again for being such a thoughtful host.

3BR/2 Bath Ottoman House w free Airport transfer**
We enjoyed our stay at the Ellis. Giorgio and Zafer were both very responsive before and during our stay. They provided us with thorough instructions for our stay and arranged airport transfers both to and from the airport. The Ellis had everything we needed for our family of four. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed with necessary dishes. We appreciated having use of the clothes washer and dryer. The welcome book contained instructions for everything in the house. Highly recommend!

Charming New Triplex & Private Terrace 8 guests
Great place, really nice neighborhood and Moussaab is very helpful. It's a tight place for eight people but workable and great value for money.
Other great vacation rentals in Istanbul

Lale Köşk 2 apartment with sea and forrest view
We were very pleased with everything. The house was both clean and quite comfortable. The location was also very convenient for us. Ms. Ayten was very caring and kind, our communication was smooth at every stage. We felt like we were at home. We recommend it with peace of mind!

Apartment with elevator with balcony in the center of Galata
This place is great. The location is 100m to Galata Tower and is walkable to all the main attractions on the European side. This is also the restaurant and shopping area, so everything you need is just a few minutes away. The apartment is spacious and clean, and the washer and dryer are very helpful. It was a perfect spot for us. Would highly recommend and Murat is a great host - very responsive and accommodating.

Tastefully Designed 2BR with a Lush Backyard
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The apartment is in a very central location, which made getting around super easy. Public transport options are nearby and we had no trouble getting to different parts of the city. The neighborhood is quiet but well-equipped. There are several small grocery stores and a handful of great local restaurants close by, so we were able to grab essentials or enjoy a nice meal without going far. It really added to the overall ease and enjoyment of our stay. The apartment itself was lovely, clean and very calming. It had everything we needed. Check-in was seamless and flexible, which we appreciated after a day of travel. The host provided clear instructions and was responsive and helpful throughout the stay. The price for the quality, location, and convenience, we felt the rate was more than fair. It’s genuinely a very good deal. If we’re ever going back, we’d definitely stay here again.

Brand New Flat in the heart of the city
The apartment is very nice and the location is central. Only thing is that there's no AC in the rooms. Would still stay here again.

New building 2+1 ViewPark | City Center
The flat was clean. The host replied to all questions. The bus stop was a few metres from home. The metro was 20 minutes by walk. The bakery and cafe are in the street. The street is busy, but still it is easy to relax.

Extraordinary Studio in Moda
We had a geeat stay in the studio. It was in a peaceful and quiet street, yet all the lively areas of Kadikoy were in just 10 minutes walking distance. Totally recommended.

*Sea View Terrace Above Room & 1000MBPS+32"TV
We stayed here for the 3rd time, we are very pleased. Transportation is very easy

1 Bedroom Apartment
A great place and a fantastic host all around. The apartment is spacious, cozy, and has everything you need for a short to medium-term stay. We stayed in the apartment for about a month. The host was extremely flexible and accommodating our requests for additional amenities and special requests like early check-in and late check-out. In terms of value and considering the current market for BNBs in Istanbul, I would say this is a good deal. Thank you, Ergül, I look forward to staying with you again!
