Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Bosphorus

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment! The location is excellent — just a 5 to 7 minute walk to Taksim Square, which makes it easy to access the metro and bus system. From Taksim, you can take the funicular down to Kabataş and hop on the T1 tram (at Kabatas) to reach key tourist sites like the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Gulhane Park. You can also take a ferry to the Asian side (Üsküdar and Kadikoy) from Kabatas. The apartment itself was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were kind, responsive, and great with communication. Overall, a convenient and pleasant place to stay — we would definitely recommend it!

In jeder Hinsicht zu empfehlen! Die Lage hat uns besonders gut gefallen, sehr zentral. Fatih hat uns bei allen Fragen sofort weitergeholfen, alles war sehr unkompliziert :)

Nice apt, great location. After 3 weeks in Istanbul finally found a place where you can sleep well still remaining within a walking range to most spots around.

My experience in Turkey was truly exceptional. The Airbnb provided a comfortable and secure environment, feeling like a home away from home. The property was clean, safe, and conveniently located near local stores. The security personnel were also very helpful. The host was outstanding—responsive and attentive to my needs. Overall, I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I sincerely appreciated the hospitality. Teşekkürler~

We stayed for a month and loved the location—2 blocks from Istiklal and Cihangir’s cafes, 10-min walk to Taksim, Şişhane, or Tophane metros. Large apartment, just as pictured. Note: elevator stops between floors, so you’ll need to walk a few steps. No oven (listing should note that), but the small air fryer works well. Microwave was “being repaired” but never returned—not really missed. The bed was comfortable for my husband, but I found it tough to get cozy sleeping on my side. A/C in the living room cools the space great. Bedroom has a floor fan—pretty loud, but it works. I sleep hot and had to run it on high. Ahmed and Gogo were excellent hosts—fast responses via Airbnb app. We’d definitely stay again!

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.

Absolutely stunning apartment. Exactly like the photos. We had to book last minute as our reserved accommodation let us down and Edis was so helpful and responsive! It was a huge relief to find somewhere so comfortable. Lovely to come back to at the end of a busy day sightseeing. Would definitely recommend!

Her şey mükemmeldi! Ev çok temiz, konforlu ve eksiksizdi. Manzarası gerçekten büyüleyiciydi, özellikle gün batımında izlemek harikaydı. Konum oldukça merkeziydi, her yere kolayca ulaşabildik. Ev sahibimiz son derece nazik, ilgili ve her zaman yardım etmeye hazırdı. Her sorumuza hızlıca yanıt verdi ve çok anlayışlıydı. Herkese gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye ederim. Tekrar gelmeyi çok isterim!

we were looking for a peaceful place in Istanbul close to the sea and mountains and forests. This is the best place for this purpose. So we got completely relaxed there. Moreover, the location is very organic- you may buy fresh milk straight from Turkish village citizens, freshly baked Karadeniz bread from the local old lady who is making herself it, you may buy fresh groceries there. Black Sea is 10 minutes away by car. The place is also close to both Asian and European parts of Istanbul. About house- the housekeepers are very helpful and empathetic, whenever you need help, they can do that. We did not know that the house is well-equipped so we brought our dishes, containers, shampoo etc. However, everything was there. Overall, we had amazing experience there with our kids. thanks to this place for that

Parfait accueil par Wahid lors de notre arrivée à Istanbul! Le logement est parfaitement situé à quelques minutes des grands sites à visiter (Mosquée bleue, Sainte-Sophie, Grand Bazar, etc). Wahid est un hôte parfait et son magasin de tapis situé au premier étage est une mine de richesse et de belles trouvailles!

Herşey çok güzeldi

Hamdi abi samimiyeti ve ilgisiyle gördüğüm en iyi ev sahibi. En ufak sorunumuzda ya da bir şey lazım olduğunda hemen ilgilendi. Tatilden keyif almamız için elinden geleni yaptı sağolsun. Evde aradığınız her şey var. Konforlu ve mahremiyet imkanı çok iyi. Balkonu ve manzarası fotoğraflardan daha güzel. Heybeliadada tatil yapacaklara kesinlikle burayı tavsiye ediyorum. Hiç düşünmeden rez yaptırın.

5 üzerinden 6 yıldız:) Daire çok zevkli döşenmiş, tatlı ayrıntılarla karakterli ve tüm ihtiyaçları karşılıyor, evden çıkmak istemiyorsunuz. Balkon ve manzara müthiş. Burcu çok sıcak biri ve iyi bir ev sahibi. Kedi Luna bir lokum:)) Lokasyon çok merkezi o yüzden bayramda doğal olarak biraz sokak gürültüsü vardı ama rahatsız etmedi:) Bir çok kafe restoran ve markete çok yakın, büyük avantaj. Heybeli’nin en iyisi olabilir! Tekrar gelmeyi planlıyorum🫶🌸

Amazing stay! Very friendly and responsive hosts!

Everything was clean and nice I would recommend it to anyone 10/10

This is the right place if you are looking for peace and quiet. We spent two nights here and loved everything from clean bathroom to the kitchen with coffee and useful utensils. We had an issue with WiFi, but Ali was helpful and the problem was solved really quickly. Thank you!

مكان مريح ونظيف ومتوفر فيه جميع ماتحتاج وإطلاله رائعة

This was a very good trip Much better than my last trip to turkey thanks to the house, the house was very clean and exactly like the pictures, everything was as described and the owner was very good at communicating with me and checking up on things.

Nuri Bey bizi çok güzel karşıladı. Ev tertemiz ve düzenliydi. İstediğimiz zaman Nuri Bey'e ulaşabildik. Çok konforlu bir konaklama oldu. Teşekkürler.

We had a great stay! The place was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful, peaceful area. Hamed was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even smoother. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back!

C’était EXTRAORDINAIRE. Je pense l’un des meilleurs appartements que j’ai loué sur istanbul. La vue imprenable sur les iles . La propreté du lieu, l’accès au metro et aux centre commerciaux très rapides. Je vous recommande vivement cet appartement , mehmet a été très réactif très pro et vraiment très gentil. Je reviendrais c’est sur et j’ai hate de revenir . Merci pour tout 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is a nice spot in Nişantaşı. Definitely a very safe part of Istanbul that will feel very comfortable for visitors, especially with 24 hour security in the building. The apartment is quiet and peaceful and overlooks a nice courtyard. It's as pictured, and Kerem is a great host, always quick to respond. It's great for one person for short stays.

Nilufer was very helpful and kind. 👍

Melih’s apartment is large and comfortable and in a fabulous location to explore Kadikoy restaurants and markets by foot. Plus it is an easy walk to the ferry terminal. Melih is a super responsive host who helped us out with all our enquiries. If we come back to Kadikoy, we will stay here again.
