Modern&Historical 2BR Apartment with AC in Galata
My mom and I truly enjoyed staying at İnci’s place - it is exactly as advertised! The building is a stunning walk up right near Galata Tower. Everything you could ever want is within walking distance, including a supermarket called SHOW. We loved checking out all of the local cafes, boutiques and art galleries in the area. The view from the living room / kitchen is so beautiful and was a great way to start each day in Istanbul. I couldn’t recommend this Airbnb enough and hope to come back again one day!

Greystone floor 3 Apartment 4

Stay Taksim Square-2
Very good studio in a good location, everything is sparkling clean and brand new. The place had just been renovated a month ago. Internet was very stable aswell. Host is very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

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

2+1 Sea view and Private Garden in Old City
A beautiful, very centrally located apartment with sea views from the terrace. Just a few minutes' walk from Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosques. The apartment is adjacent to the old historic city wall and Byzantine palace, which is 1600 years old. Communication with Ali went smoothly. We had everything we needed in the apartment. It's important to know that the rooms are not large and have no doors, which is probably just typical. In addition, the apartment is a bit noisy and the train tracks run nearby. But none of that really bothered us. We would rent the apartment again and recommend it. Dear Ali, Thank you very much. We had a lovely stay in Istanbul🕌❤️!

Rose Point Residence 1+1 New Building
It was a great stay, everything was new and spotless as in the photo. A caring host has an address where I will stay again.

Flat in the center of Cihangir 3
This is my 3 time staying at Havyar”s. Everytime I come to Istanbul I stay at Havyars. Very cozy and clean place. The location is perfect. The host is always pleasant. I highly recommend the Havyar”s place.

İSTANBUL TOWN CİTY APARTMENT
Great location, a few issues but very easily sorted and very quickly. Very comfortable and it was a great base while in Istanbul.
House rentals in İstanbul

A Historical House in Sultanahmet area
We liked the house. It is convenient for family living. There are many attractions nearby - we walked all day around the historical part of the area. Opposite the house there is a restaurant with good traditional cuisine. Wahid is a very nice person. Thank you for your hospitality!

Galata Duplex House With Terrace For Large Groups
Apartments are beautiful, large, and in a great location - we really loved our stay and would absolutely recommend this place to friends! Things to know: the two floors are totally separate apartments; they are pretty anonymous rental flats in terms of what to expect in the kitchen; we experienced some cultural differences around checkout and other communication, but no major issues; the offered airport pickup required that we wait around the airport for about 40 minutes but was otherwise easy

Beautifully Renovated House w 3 B-rooms @ Cihangir
Very nice and very comfortable apartment, in an old Ottoman-style house. A great location for getting around Istanbul: near the hyper-practical tram and Kabatas landing stage.

Bosphorus Dream in the heart of Istanbul
A special place, a nice and interactive host, the house is a guest, a tidy, and a special location of the house with a very nice view in the hall that makes you sit in the house and not get out of it Also services and restaurants are very close by the house Masjid and groceries Only one challenge in the house for those with an older age is to climb stairs to the second floor

Whole Flat -Beautiful Seaview, 2min to Centre
You chose it to spend the weekend, it was one of the best weekends I've had thanks to this house. The house is incredibly peaceful, every detail is incredibly beautiful. Extremely clean. It was incredibly enjoyable to sit on the balcony against the sea view. Ms. Burcu was also very sweet, she took care of us from start to finish. Luna, her cat, was just as sweet, adding color to our weekend. Everything was a great experience.
Private Garden House in Cihangir
Tao’s home is a charming entire house with a private entrance, nestled in a vibrant neighborhood. If you're a fan of Orhan Pamuk's novels, you'll recognize the area, and you'll be pleased to know that the Museum of Innocence actually exists and is located nearby. The house itself is full of character and unique details. The kitchen is well-equipped and had everything we needed traveling with a young child. There are three floors to navigate: the kitchen, dining area, and a shower are located on the ground floor, while the entrance, two bedrooms and a toilet are on the first floor. The second floor features the third bedroom with its own small kitchenette and bathroom. Additionally, the entrance has a few steps as well. Tao is a very sweet, friendly and thoughtful host, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Communication was seamless, and he provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Duplex villa with Bosphorus view (no smoking)
Peaceful and comfortable accommodation with amazing views and all the creature comforts. An excellent base for exploring Istanbul by ferry or bus, with nice cafes nearby. Can recommend using a delivery service (we used Getir) to get groceries in.

Fully-restored historic Kuzguncuk residence
Beautifu homel just off a vibrant street in a charming district. Convenient to great restaurants, cafes and shops and public transport options to the key attractions. The house is cosy and welcoming with convenient immaculate bathrooms on each floor. The heated floors and large bath are just fabulous!

Vogue House (Duplex)
We had a very pleasant stay at Yusuf’s place. There was lots of space for the three of us. We enjoyed the lovely terrace and the area is very quiet, beds were comfy and we slept well. There are restaurants close-by and the food was good. The location is also close to the ferry and the tram. Overall it was a great stay and I can only recommend Yusuf’s place. He is a very attentive, friendly and helpful host.

Wooden Mansion at Bosphorus neighborhood
Wonderful experience. Ortakoy is a traditional neighborhood . The area has plenty of cafes and restaurants . Beautiful house

Stylish Bungalow Villa In City
Mr. Akın was very helpful with everything. We felt she was trying to make us comfortable at home. The house was a very warm environment, it was enjoyable. The house looks like it sleeps 9, but it's a small L armchair where two people will sleep. It wasn't a problem for us, but it should be considered.

Luxury Life Suites
One of my best stays with Airbnb, clean and comfy apartments, everything required was already available. Didn’t have to ask for anything. Love this place, will come again
