Vacation rentals with a patio in Bosphorus

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!

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.

Everything was perfect! Julia was very kind and helpful from the moment we booked her place. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and has the most amazing view of the historical peninsula of Istanbul. The location is great to see historical places on foot, but also for pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants.

A perfect place to explore Balat and further afield. Our taxi from the airport struggled to locate exact address of property and his vehicle didn't like the very narrow cobbled streets!!

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

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!

This is a wonderful place from which to enjoy the very best that Cihangir, Beyoglu, and Istanbul have to offer: a beautiful side street in the city's most charming neighborhood, spectacular views of the Bosporus/Golden Horn and Old City, and a very charming, well-proportioned, and designed apartment. Check-in was also excellent—I would very gladly stay here again.

The house is exactly as in the picture, has the most beautiful view in Istanbul, and we enjoyed it a lot. Ozi is very kind and ready for anything you ask. We will definitely come back again Ozi 🥰

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

The best time I had in Istanbul ❤️ great location, wonderful old renovated building! Thanks for atmosphere and Berke’s helpfulness and hospitality

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!!

Very nice place, on a nice street. Cars hardly drive by and it's pretty quiet at night. If you want to sleep at night, this is the place for you. The host met me and handed over the keys. Very friendly, showed us everything. The apartment has everything you need and working. The only thing is that the fridge worked strangely; it defrosted at times and became wet.. The beds are comfortable, my son slept very well. And that's the main thing! Among the disadvantages: a smoky living room and ashtrays. People smoke in the apartment, and for non-smokers it is a test. The windowsills in the bedrooms and living room are quite low, you need to be very careful. Plus, some of the furniture is falling apart. In all other respects, we had a great vacation and my son really liked it. Thank you and prosperity to you.

He is very helpful, and easy to communicate I definitely recommend staying here

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!

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!

Fethi's place is perfect! The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, a lot of shops are very close. The flat is spacious, clean and cosy, it is as described. I liked the huge bed a lot) There were everything we needed, including a great number of clean towels. The flat is well-equipped, with good kitchen and bathroom. Fithi is a great host, very helpful and relyable. He helped with transfer, provided a lot of tips, and even get a crib for our toddler without me asking! I recommend Fethi's place, and I would like to come back one day)

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

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.

Mr. Furkan is a well-intentioned friend. He answered every question with patience, as if he was like a friend I had known for years. Your home was nice and calm. In addition to being calm, the transportation was very convenient. There was only a little slope, but there are already seven hills in most places in Istanbul. Thank you Furkan friend.

Location was great, near Marmaray ( 8 Min by foot) We walked several times to the Mall called Floria Aquarium ( 40 min by Foot) or 2 Staions by Marmaray) Very nice Balcony with perfect view..

Thank you so much, Tevfik! I had a wonderful 8-day stay at your apartment in Istanbul. The highlight was definitely the stunning view of the Bosporus—it was absolutely breathtaking and made every morning and evening feel special. The apartment is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, which was a perfect escape from the busy city, yet still close to everything I needed. It’s just minutes away from markets and great local restaurants, which made daily errands and dining out super fun and convenient. Inside, everything was modern and new, with all the amenities you’d expect, and described. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic stay in Istanbul! Dr. Katya Vladimirov Professor
