Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Eminönü

Where does one even begin when everything was just perfect? Oya and Ned are the frendliest and most caring Airbnb hosts I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They welcomed us very warmly, gave us a tour of the flat and explained how everything works and to reach out to them if we had any requests. Ned was very reactive every time we messaged him to ask for recommendations and on the last day Oya made sure a taxi would be waiting for us just outside the house to take us to the airport. What else can I say? Just the perfect stay :)

The location is great and the house was really clean. We are very satisfied.

Tao’s home is a charming entire house with a private entrance, nestled in a vibrant neighborhood. If you're a fan of Orhan Pamuk's novels, you'll recognize the area, and you'll be pleased to know that the Museum of Innocence actually exists and is located nearby. The house itself is full of character and unique details. The kitchen is well-equipped and had everything we needed traveling with a young child. There are three floors to navigate: the kitchen, dining area, and a shower are located on the ground floor, while the entrance, two bedrooms and a toilet are on the first floor. The second floor features the third bedroom with its own small kitchenette and bathroom. Additionally, the entrance has a few steps as well. Tao is a very sweet, friendly and thoughtful host, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Communication was seamless, and he provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Peaceful and comfortable accommodation with amazing views and all the creature comforts. An excellent base for exploring Istanbul by ferry or bus, with nice cafes nearby. Can recommend using a delivery service (we used Getir) to get groceries in.

Very nice place to stay if you visit Istanbul, quiet neighbourhood, close to bus stop. And the landlady is very friendly and responsive, the apartment is very clean, would recommend 10/10!!!

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful family home with lots of character. In a great location to explore the city. All amenities you would want for your holiday. Would recommend

Great location, family friendly area, lots of restaurants around the neighborhood. Host was very responsive and helpful. Well recommended

Berk is such a lovely host! So helpful and was always there if we needed anything at all. The place itself was lovely, close by to everything and clean with extra supplies if if we needed anything :) would definitely come back

Very clean and very comfortable. Had everything we needed for a long stay. There were a few instances with the water being cut off for a few hours during the midday due to construction, but not a big issue. Neighborhood felt safe. Close to a ton of restaurants and public transportation.

It was second stay in this place this month! Perfect room! Quite and comfortable Highly recommend

One of my best stays with Airbnb, clean and comfy apartments, everything required was already available. Didn’t have to ask for anything. Love this place, will come again

Gizem's place was great. It looked exactly like the photos, it was very clean and perfectly arranged for families with kids (we went with two small kids). They gave us a crib for the baby and even had a baby chair and toys for the kids. Its location was fantastic: very lively neighborhood but their place was located on a quiet street. We had no issues during the night. If you plan to visit the European side, the ferry station is a 15-minute walk from the apartment with ferries going directly to Eminonou and Karakoy. You can also walk around Moda, with many restaurants and cafes. the neighborhood felt very safe, even at night and with massive protests apparently taking place in Kadikoy - although we purposefully avoided crowded places during the evening. We totally recommend their place and would definitely come back this place! Well-deserved five stars.

Things to be aware of: it is up a flight of stairs and it is in the middle of a vibrant and hilly neighborhood so if you have mobility issues or you looking for a quiet spot, this is probably not for you. This is an excellent location surrounded by a lot of cute and unique shops and good food (Check out Guney Restaurant). The selection is very similar to what you get at the grand bazaar and the prices are better. The apartment itself is very cute. There are 3 sperate nice bedrooms (one with a sitting area and one with a balcony), a kitchen, and a sitting area/dining area. There is also one full bath, one half bath, and one shower/sink room, which is very convenient if you're going with a group. Also, the host was incredibly responsive to our needs and even let us check in early. The architecture and aesthetic of the building/apartment is also very unique and interesting. I would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly staff they helped us with early check-in , spacious one bedroom in a very nice area will definitely come back

The airbnb was excellent for our stay. We were in a very vibrant area of the city in a great airbnb that matched the description. Sarah was a fantastic host! Very kind and helpful during our whole stay. Would book again.

Host is wonderful, highly recommend

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!

Ms. Melike's quick and solution-oriented responses helped us a lot. The apartment was as shown in the photos, very clean, clean in the facilities, and the attendants were friendly. Thank you for this beautiful experience we had.

Thank you so much for this wonderful apartment. We truly felt at home. Ksenia is very responsive and always available if we need anything. The place is perfect for both short and long stays in Istanbul. Outside the apartment, the building is also clean, and there’s a store open until 3 AM with very reasonable prices. The pool and gym were great, and not too crowded during our stay. The apartment’s decor is very well thought out. It’s also well insulated from outside noise and equipped with various types of heating and air conditioning.

Excellent location close to Taksim, Istiklal, & metro. Apartment was spacious and the elevator is very useful with luggage. Everything was provided for our 1 week stay.

Excellent location. Excellent host. Good public transport links. Additional recommendations by host really added value to our holiday experience. A truly unique stay in a beautiful charming region of Istanbul city. Thoroughly recommend it!

I recommend this place.

Our stay in Istanbul was made even better thanks to this amazing apartment ! The 3-bedroom apartment was spacious, spotless, and had a great mix of modern comfort and local charm. Each room was well-furnished and cozy, and the living area was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The location was ideal—close to public transportation, great cafes, and some of the main attractions, but still in a quiet neighborhood that let us wind down peacefully at night. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, and making sure we had everything we needed. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Istanbul—especially families or groups looking for comfort, space, and a great location. We’d love to stay here again on our next trip!

Ugur is an incredible host. We were traveling to Istanbul for our wedding and Ugur helped find a laundry service to help iron a wedding dress and tuxedo! His office is located around the corner and was quick to reply to any questions or concerns. We saw a few reviews about noise but we felt the apartment was very quiet and had no issues.
