Vacation rentals with a patio in Başakşehir

We had a great 1-day stay in Arnavutköy, hosted by the friendly and attentive Emrah. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean, perfect for a short but relaxing family stopover. Emrah was a caring and thoughtful host, making sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which gave us a restful break during our travels. The house was well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, making it easy for us to feel at home even for a short stay. If we return to Istanbul in the future, we would definitely love to stay here again. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Arnavutköy — it’s a cozy and calm place with a wonderful host. Thank you, Emrah, for your warm hospitality!

- beautiful place (better than photos) - everything you need is in the place: washing machine, dishwasher, etc. - perfectly located place (lots of restaurants nearby, 3 mn walk to the Galata tower although very peaceful quiet charming district) - very clear and organised instructions for check-in and life in the flat - terrace with a garden and quiet charming street view was perfect in the morning for coffee and at night for dinner and wine

The apartment was great. It’s very spacious, clean, and having two bathrooms is a bonus. There are lovely views from the living area as well. It can be loud at night, and the walk up is tiring, but nothing terrible. Would recommend to groups of 3 or 4 people.

Fantastic aspect giving you a 180deg view out over the Bosporus from the lounge and bedroom. Even better from the grassed roof area up on the roof we’re I managed a fantastic workout. Its location is also great with restaurants cafes etc just a walk away as is Taskim.

It’s a fun, boho space with lots of room to spread out in. I will say it needs a bit of a refresh and the host is aware. Here’s hoping the minor updates that need updating will be done soon. I definitely would go back.

BEHIC'S APARTMENT IS LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO THE GALATA TOWER AND THE BOHEMIA AREA. AS ACCOMMODATION IT IS MAGNIFICENT, LARGE (IT REALLY HAS THE METERS INDICATED), IT IS VERY CLEAN, WELL CARED FOR, THE KITCHEN IS FABULOUS, THE TWO BATHROOMS ARE VERY GOOD. COMMUNICATION WITH BEHIC IS VERY FAST, AND THEY HELP US WITH EVERYTHING WE REQUESTED. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS THAT IT'S LOCATED ON SOME STEEP STREETS, BUT THAT'S QUITE NORMAL IN SEVERAL AREAS OF ISTANBUL. THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING WORK, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT EASY TO GET THE OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE DUE TO THE RADIANT FLOOR (TOO HOT), WE ACHIEVED IT BY COOLING IT WITH THE POSITION OF THE WINDOWS IN SWING FOR A WHILE. THE OVERALL RATING IS A 10 AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This was our first stay in Istanbul and we loved it. Ömer's apartment is located in a timeless place in a lively and picturesque area but, at the same time, away from the noise of the city, charmed us. Our delightful moments spent on the balcony overlooking the Bosphorus and the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Mary will remain forever etched in our memories. The apartment is as pictured, cozy and spacious. It has an incredible atmosphere. The appliances and bedding are of quality and the bathroom, although a little spartan, is very nice. The sides and stairs that go up and the three floors are quickly forgotten once inside. Recommended without hesitation!

Lovely home. Very cozy. Nice restaurants and a few supermarkets not far. Highly recommend.

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

Beautiful house. Really nicely done for comfort and quality. Really welcoming and very helpful host. The lounge is a little cosy for more than three people, but we (four) made it work well enough and there's plenty of space otherwise. Some lovely shops just down the road, very easy to pop out to buy breakfast etc. Just a few minutes walk from Tram 5, which goes to the Spice market. Very firm beds which we liked, lots of little extra touches, such as slippers, exfoliating pads, napkins, bottled water. Made it feel quite lux! Loved it - would definitely go back!

Emre's place made an unforgettable memory for us. We were there for about 10 days, the place matched the description and the photos, close to public transportations and He has been very helpful and responded. For example, We needed a baby chair , a baby bed and we found the pans not useful for us. he immediately provided them. Emre was really great and very lovely. Highly recommended.

It was a real pleasure to stay at your place during our visit to Istanbul. The place is very nice and very clean, and there’s all we needed during our stay. Very close to everything shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions just 5min walk to the blue mosque and hagia Sofia mosque. The place has two floors and makes it like two apartments in one and this was great for us, we stayed in one floor with the kids and gave the second floor to my mom and my niece who came with us. The host was very professional, polite and very helpful. He provided a great service he organised the taxi for us from and to the airport and even walked us through the nearby area and showed us the better shops and restaurants and the different shortcuts to get to centre. Thanks a million for everything and we really appreciate!!

Can and Jacki are great hosts! They helped plan airport transfers for our group to and from the Airbnb. They also provided us with many recommendations in the local area. The location of the place was amazing! Very close to public transit to get to the Old City and many nice stores within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

Thanks to Sena and Fatih for hosting, availability and flexibility! ☺️ The apartment was in a very good location, close to a tram station that leads to the heart of Istanbul. The shower in the bathroom had a small problem because I think it is old but after notifying Fatih, he came to repair it and everything went well!

Every thing was good Mustafa sehr freundlich

The location is super suitable for activities of all kinds (Bim to the center, harbor right nearby). The place with the view is unique and the landlord is very friendly and quick to respond to questions!

Apartment is located very close to galata tower. The location is perfect with sunset view from the roof. Lots of restaurants, cafe and bars around. Apartment is located on4th floor and building doesn’t have elevator so a good source of workout. Warm, quiet space with loads of windows. I felt at home. Fully equipped with amenities.

What team was excellent through and through. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this Airbnb.

Benny is very friendly, helpful and very responsive to messages. He welcomed us personally and gave us very good tips. The apartment is perfectly located for visiting Istanbul. Although very close to a main road, it is quiet. The bus stop is very close, so we were able to get everywhere very well by public transport. The area is still rather simple, the apartment makes a very positive impression here. The apartment can be reached via a somewhat narrow staircase and is located on two floors. Downstairs are two bedrooms and a toilet, upstairs is a nice living room with balcony, a well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower. We felt very comfortable and safe and would love to come back.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful two-level apartment. The space is thoughtfully designed, with plenty of natural light and a cozy yet modern feel. One of the highlights was the lush garden—perfect for morning coffee or just relaxing in a peaceful, green setting. The balcony upstairs offered lovely views and added a great touch of privacy. The location is very secluded and quiet, ideal for anyone looking to unwind, but also felt incredibly safe and secure throughout my stay. It truly felt like a little hidden oasis. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene getaway.

Very nice and well looked after apartment, great city views and the host Firat was very helpful whenever he was needed. Look forward to staying at this place again.

Great apartment, we loved the area and the apartment was very clean. Lisa was also great to communicate with and super helpful!

This was one of my favorite Istanbul stays! Both the location & the house were amazing & so we enjoyed going out & staying in in our cozy space. Very stylish & smart design. The host is super responsive & very helpful. We truly enjoyed this stay & definitely coming back ✨
