Vacation rentals with lake access in Beşiktaş

Had a wonderful stay! The location was extremely convenient to all the historic sites (either walkable or via transit) while also being very local. Great artisanal shops and local restaurants in the neighbourhood. Can as a host is very proactive and responsive. He provided us with clear instructions, great recommendations, and answered all our questions. The home was very clean, spacious, and well equipped. Of you're in Istanbul, this is the place to stay!

Thank you Edip for a great stay, the apartment was amazing, felt homely and also in the best location, just a few minutes to Istiklal st. The host was super friendly, can’t wait to go back and stay again

It was amazing. The room was tidy and clean, and the view is absolutely beautiful. The neighborhood is lively during the day, but quiet and safe at night. Bulut, the host was very nice, friendly and helpful. He answered really fast, gave us tips, when we were on the terrace, he always gave us food and drinks, and when an earthquake happened, he took care of us and made sure we were okay. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, both the room and Bulut (and his parents) are amazing, we highly recommend staying here.

- Really enjoyed staying in Uskudar, which does not have so many tourists, while providing a wonderful view on all Istanbul and lots of restaurants. Selman's apartment was in my opinion perfectly placed, near to transportations and restaurants, while being perfectly quiet (ofc bring earplugs for the night prayer calls of the mosques, but I think you can't avoid them in all Istanbul). - The apartment itself was completely equipped and worked perfectly for us. - Selman was really proactive in helping us, for the check-in, but also every other day. He gave us useful advice and much more. He was really committed to give us the best possible experience of his city!

The apartment exactly matches the pictures – modernly furnished and with a stunning view of the Bosphorus. The large window fronts make it feel like you're sleeping in the conservatory – really special! Everything was as described, and Harun was super helpful when I didn't get the umbrella on the terrace myself. I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. What not to underestimate: the ascent via the many stairs to the property. It's best to bring a backpack – or a bit of fitness. But after a few days you get used to it, and the view really makes up for it! Overall, a great place with a great view – I'd love to come back!

Loved the place and highly recommend if you are staying in Istanbul

The view of the Bosporus is unbeatable although you have to climb up 4 five flights of stairs. But it’s really worth it. The condo is very cozy and spotless. Within radius of 10 minutes walking distance you can reach tons of restaurants. If you wanna go to blue mosque or Sophia, it takes 5-6 minutes to reach the T1 tram station. The caveat is you have to gown down a steep trail. On the way back it might be a bit laborious

We had a good stay for 2 days with our 4 year old before going on to the coast. If you have kids younger than 4 the spiral staircase on the top floor might be stressful. The house was very clean, has been really thoughtfully renovated and is on a buzzy street with restaurants and cafes (we got takeaway lahmucan from Forno opposite one night). Erkan stood out as a helpful and responsive host.

This ground floor apartment ( 1st floor for we Americans) was perfect for my stay. This place was within minutes walking to all the cafes, restaurants and shops. And to the side of the apartment is where everyone goes to take pictures of all the beautiful popular colorful buildings that make Balat so iconic. They film many Turkish Tv Series and films in the area for its old charm. The host was amazing. She gave a me a tour of the village and she definitely knows her history and Balat very well. She will give you the best recommendations of places to eat and coffee shops that serve worldwide award winning coffees. As a coffee lover I appreciated that. The place is a very beautiful unique historical apartment building. Very cozy place for me (solo traveler) to stay. If and when I return to istanbul I will definitely stay at this building again. Next time I want to try the apartment at the very top floor :-).
