Apartment holiday rentals in Bosphorus

An absolutely amazing place to stay! Living room overlooks Galataport and we got to see quite a few large cruise ships. Loved all the resident kitties, one even had three kittens in the courtyard. Air conditioning is a godsend and the fan in the bedroom was perfect. Fair warning, it’s either up or down quite some stairs or a steep hill to get everywhere, but honestly we loved that. A great workout!

Had a fantastic stay! The flat was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable. Everything was exactly as described, and the host was responsive and helpful. Great location too - T1 tram station, 5 minutes on funicular to Taksim square. Highly recommend!

A great base for visiting the sights in Istanbul, well located near bars and restaurants and transport. The photos do not reflect the size of the rooms, which are very spacious and well equiped. We would definitely return. Only concern was loud music on Friday night that could be heard in the front bedroom. Just take some ear plugs as a precaution.

I highly recommend staying at Ugur’s place. From the time we booked, till the end of the stay Ugur was super responsive and helpful. The views are just drop dead gorgeous (floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Bosphorus). The neighborhood feels like you are living and staying like a local and has modern furnishings. Wifi is excellent. You have to be ready to handle stairs but if in reasonably good shape, they are not a problem. Just avoid if uneven stairs are an issue but Istanbul is hilly and any local neighborhood would mean stairs. The best thing is Ugur’s responsiveness: we needed coffee pods, a tap fixed, airport transfer: all was organized in a minute… and shout out to Mohamed who so kindly helped with luggage and many things!

Great place to stay (quite neighborhood, lots of things to explore around, and great apartment of course)

Great location , walking distance from Taksim square. Very clean and modern apartment. Fantastic host very helpful.

Wow! Incredible apartment with perfect views. Ozi was extremely accommodating, would recommend and return.

This is an excellent 5-star apartment! The host was very helpful, responsive and made our check-in process very clear. The apartment was clean & tidy, and had supplies for washing dishes, washing clothes and shampoo & shower gel. The washing machine & dryer worked perfectly and were very handy during our stay. The apartment has two bedrooms with air conditioning units as well as an ac unit in the living room. They all work extremely well and kept us cool during our stay (June 2025). The view from the living room is spectacular! Most days we ate our breakfast the kitchen counter and just gazed out at the Bosphorus; the view makes this apartment a one-of-a-kind property! You can walk up some stairs (lots of cats) and be in a buzzing district with cafes & restaurants & a big Carrefour grocery store. Most days we walked down the hill to use the tram to get around and then at the end of the day we took the funicular up to Taksim and had a pleasant stroll to the apartment.

We had a wonderful stay. Communication with the host was excellent — very quick, friendly, and helpful. Check-in was smooth and everything was clearly explained. The apartment itself is just perfect — ideally located on a quiet street, yet just around the corner from cafes and shops. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no elevator, but we were informed about that in advance — and honestly, the beautiful view is worth every step! You're just a short walk from the ferry dock, which makes it easy to explore different parts of Istanbul by boat. There are also many great sights within walking distance. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you might need, whether for a short or long stay. We combined work and vacation — and working with a view of the Bosphorus was pure joy. We would love to come back!

Great stay - flat is right on the heart of Istanbul and was exactly as described. View was stunning and definitely the highlight. Apartment was very well equipped and host was extremely responsive.

Staying with Erkan was an experience. The reception was warm, including a full refrigerator with drinks. The apartment with the terrace overlooking the Bosphorus is simply breathtaking. The apartment itself was beautifully furnished, very clean and spacious! The location was perfect and was within walking distance to all attractions. Erkan always took care of us and was always easy and quick to reach. I can highly recommend the apartment and will definitely take this apartment again on my next visit.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the place, the location and the host! She was very friendly and very accommodating to our check in and out times. The location is great, less than a 5 minute walk to Galata tower. Thank you for such a great stay!

It was a good apartment with a beautiful view! The stairs up and down to the tram were a challenge. Have a great workout! It is not suitable if you have difficulty climbing stairs. We will definitely recommend this space. The communication with Liker was great! He responded immediately and helped us very well.

Such an amazing stay at Sebiha’s place! The view of the Bosphorous ( though restricted) is spectacular! the full length glass adds to the charm . The sofa and the bed both very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with all cooking essentials - in fact we cooked our breakfast everyday & enjoyed dining with the amazing view. But the best thing about the apartment is its location - very well positioned. It’s so close to Galata tower, Taksim street, metro station. Just a few steps up, you reach the supermarket & just a few steps down, you reach the bus stop ! Very convenient for travel . Highly recommended place for long time stays also.

Alican is super responsive, my cousin and I were delighted with his almost immediate answers, 😃 he helped us a lot 🤩 What to say about the neighborhood: very lively, restaurant etc, everything available ☺️ And the studio is very nice and clean and the view from the terrace just wow MAGNIFICENT ❤️ Thanks again, Alican 😘

Enjoyed the stay! Great location/neighborhood, quiet at night so got a restful sleep. Communicative and helpful hosts, especially with our check in and check out process. Only recommendation would be more towels, like a hand towel for the bathroom, a 2nd towel to swap out for the ground, and two towels per guest. Especially for the ladies with long hair. :)

Two bedroom/two full bath apartment in the middle of the action - 7 min walk to the grand bazaar. The owner's uncle meets you to let you in and is very responsive if you need anything. The area is quite busy and full of traffic, but that is Istanbul. The apartment is on the 5th floor and the elevator is a little small but it dose the trick. Not luxury but very comfortable and very clean.

Great location , waking distance to many attractions

I had an unforgettable stay in the heart of Cihangir, in a peaceful and elegant location. This place is not just an accommodation but truly feels like a second home in Istanbul. Every detail has been meticulously considered: a spacious and comfortable living area, the pleasure of a home cinema experience on a large screen, a bright and quiet neighborhood… Even the bed, pillows, and dryer have been carefully chosen with comfort in mind. For those working remotely, this place is also an excellent choice! There is a dedicated workspace where you can comfortably take care of your business. Sara, made this experience even more special. With her warm hospitality, excellent recommendations about the city, and attention to every detail from check-in to even sharing the local grocery store’s number, she truly made me feel at home. If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed home in Istanbul, this is definitely the right place! I will definitely be back!

I’ve been in many airbnbs and I have to say that Tao is one of the best for sure. His place is in a top notch location inside of Istanbul and his recommendations made our trip so much better.

Beautiful apartment, well situated. Very responsive hosts.

This is an amazing place, located very near Taksim Square with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is beautiful. It has big rooms and fully renovated bathrooms. There is also a big terrace and a well equipped kitchen. The host is very friendly and responsive. The instructions to check in are clear. I couldn’t find anything negative. Highly recommended.

My family and I were extremely happy with the place. The sea view was a dream and the apartment corresponded to the pictures. You could reach everything super well by car and also by ferry from Sarıyer port, which was close to the apartment, everything was super accessible. Zafer Bey was a good host and was always quickly available. He always had a solution to any problems that arose. Our check-in and check-out went super easy and smoothly through the guidance of Zafer Bey. On the whole, I can only recommend this apartment. Every cent was worth it!!!

It was easy to find. Thanks to the direct location. Overall, it was a good experience. It's in a good place in the neighborhood. It was on the ground floor, but the air conditioning was good, the bathroom was simple and clean, and the refrigerator was cooling very well. The seats were comfortable. I had no privacy issues, which was one of the important points for me. I am satisfied. Thanks again.
