Bright and Stylish Flat with amazing terrace :)

IrinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My stay at Saim’s apartment in Istanbul was wonderful. He was very welcoming. I was tired and had trouble finding the keys, but he was very helpful and stayed in touch the whole time. The apartment is very spacious and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bed is super comfortable, and the linens were brand new. The view from the terrace is simply breathtaking, and be prepared for visits from some adorable cats—they are everywhere in Istanbul! I didn’t hear any noise from the neighbors, and the sound from the Bosphorus is minimal when the windows are closed. All the windows face the terrace, making the view even better. A big thank you for the bottled water in the fridge; it was a real lifesaver! The apartment is located along stairs that go both up and down, and I was glad I didn’t have to carry water since the way is not easy.

S House Lux/Bosphorus Bliss Penthouse

Edwin ChristianRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Overall, the place was great. There were minor issues like the shower knob being loose and the dryer not working, but the host paid for the washing and drying of clothes. The downstairs bathroom door did not close properly but there were additional bathrooms upstairs. The place is very spacious and the view is amazing. There is an elevator so you don’t have to walk up the stairs with your luggage. However, the apartment unit is two stories, so you do have to carry your luggage to the bedrooms upstairs. There are three bedrooms with sufficient space for a large group.

Sunway Bosphorus Suite 8

BrendaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This place is just amazing. Sure, you have to walk up some stairs to get to it, but the reward is your living room is an amazing terrace with views of the whole city to take your breath away day and night. The place is decorated with nice modern finishes, very cool, very chic. It is comfortable and clean and was stocked with everything I needed. I can’t wait to come back!! I felt that the price was really affordable for what I got, as in nicer than I expected at this price point. The neighborhood is a great place to be, central to anything you want to do, and plenty to do right there in walking distance. Don’t miss the Museum of Modern Art! Harun is a really kind and amazing host. Not only did he help me with my massive suitcase at 3am, throughout my stay, he answered my random questions about the city within minutes every time. I highly recommend this place and any other place Harun is hosting!!!

We had a great time in Murat's flat. It's ideally located in a lively and beautiful neighbourhood. The flat was very comfortable to chill after long days visiting the city and walking all around.

Stunning Halic Panorama + Easy Transport Access

PatricRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
One of the best places we ever stayed at. The apartment was very spacious, cozy and clean with a nice balcony and incredible views of Istanbul. We felt right at home. The apartment is well equipped as well. Furkan was always available when we had questions and his guide of the neighborhood was very helpful. From all the places we stayed in Istanbul this was our favorite!
