LUXURY RENTAL HISTORICAL BUILDING CENTRAL LOCATION
Very nice apartment, ideally located 5 minutes from the tram and 15 minutes walk from the Galata Bridge — perfect for discovering Istanbul. Can and her nephew are very responsive. The latter welcomed us at midnight and a half, despite our late flight, which was much appreciated. Both bedrooms are comfortable, and the living room, intimate and cozy, is tastefully decorated. At the bottom of the building, a small convenient grocery store allows you to make essential purchases, with payment by credit card.

Modern&Historical 2BR Apartment with AC in Galata
The apartment is located in the heart of the Galata area. There are great restaurants, cafes and dessert shops all around the apartment. The apartment has a super minimalist aesthetic with loads of light and ventilation. The hosts are proactive when a neighbour turned up the music, they promptly called them neighbor to lower it. Id highly recommend the host and apartment. Pro tip: walk down to the Karaköy area there are loads of restaurants and bars with locals on Mumhane cd. If you walk along that road all the way to the Galata Bridge you will find a heritage mall, fancy hotels and the waterfront restaurants

Greystone floor 3 Apartment 4
Very clean and very comfortable. Had everything we needed for a long stay. There were a few instances with the water being cut off for a few hours during the midday due to construction, but not a big issue. Neighborhood felt safe. Close to a ton of restaurants and public transportation.

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
This place was reasonably priced, clean and convenient to all the sites we wanted to see. Mehmet and his brother took great care of us, booking airport transfers, the Bosporus cruise, and giving us good advice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

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.

İSTANBUL TOWN CİTY APARTMENT
This property helped us out, as the previously booked hotel suddenly canceled before arrival. We had to quickly find another place to stay near Sultanahmet, and this apartment was very useful. We were always in touch with Enes, so all issues were resolved quickly. One of the key advantages is the presence of a kitchen, which allows you to save a lot on food.

Private house with 4 separate apartments
The place was fantastic! Great location, very cozy, conveniently located, close to all that Balat has to offer. Ișil, was amazing 👏! she met us on the first day, did a detailed walk through of the space, showed us around the neighborhood, and was available for any of our questions while we stayed at her gorgeous space. she even helped us with unstanding local transportation. Would absolutely stay again. Communication was second to none. Thank you, thank you!

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
The location is great and the house was really clean. We are very satisfied.

Artsy Design Home & Bathtub 🧡 Terrace
We're thankful for having chosen Taos place. The place itself is beautifully cozy and we felt at home right from the start. Tao prepared the place well, it was clean, the instructions were clear and he was super helpful with recommendations for what to do, what to see and always made sure we could make the most of our stay. Great host! If we come back to Istanbul, Taos place will be our first address to check :) Thank you once more for hosting us!

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.

Charming Apt w/Balcony Near Taksim & Nisantasi
Very nice place to stay if you visit Istanbul, quiet neighbourhood, close to bus stop. And the landlady is very friendly and responsive, the apartment is very clean, would recommend 10/10!!!

3BR/2 Bath Ottoman House w free Airport transfer**
We enjoyed staying in this beautiful family home with lots of character. In a great location to explore the city. All amenities you would want for your holiday. Would recommend

The Blue House, TRIPLEX, best location at TAKSIM!
Berk is such a lovely host! So helpful and was always there if we needed anything at all. The place itself was lovely, close by to everything and clean with extra supplies if if we needed anything :) would definitely come back

Stylish 1BR | 2 min to İstiklal St
There were some small issues with check-in, the front door code was incorrectly indicated in the description, but the host responded quickly. The apartment is clean, cozy, but you can hear the neighbors very well

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

& 2+1 Magnificent Apartment in Taksim Cihangir
Very well located apartment, between Taksim Square and the Bosphorus. It's really clean, it has everything you need for cooking. There are restaurants all over the neighborhood and a small supermarket. Far from the hustle and bustle, it allows you to rest in peace after a day of walking. The tram, buses and metro are a 10/15 minute walk away. You can get everywhere on foot, just bring good walking shoes! Hassan is responsive, available and does everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Very friendly, he answered all our questions, without ever getting annoyed! See you soon in Chaa Allah!

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

Just take a look You will Love It! Jacuzzi
Nice place, good location.

Cozy suite with sea view in the heart of the city
ideal location, easy check-in at an early hour, value for money. I really enjoyed my time here.

Bright modern apartment in the heart of Moda
Great location and space for a few days stay. Lots of restaurants around and walkable distance to the ferry. The place is clean and comfortable, has everything you need. The bed is comfortable (only one tiny wish - small soft pillows would be a great addition). The kitchen has everything to cook a quick meal. Thank you Mehmet, for the support and quick responses!
