Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Sea of Marmara

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

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.

Mesut's house was a piece of paradise where the birds never stopped singing from dawn to dusk. The pool and spa were theraputic and the space luxurious. My children were capitvated by the home and the setting. Mesut thank you for your hospitality and welcoming us as your guests.

Thank you. Everything was good

We would like to thank Mr. Furkan very much. We had an incredibly peaceful and happy holiday with our children as a family. He was very interested. Everything was sweat clean and well-maintained. Mr. Furkan took care of everything very quickly. Thank you for everything. See you again...

A beautiful, unique, artistic maisonette. A roof terrace with views over the Golden Horn. Quirky, so flexibility required.

It was great staying in the house for a weekend. Aslı was super quick in replying to any questions and was very flexible on arranging the checkin and checkout. The AC heats the house very well also when it is a bit colder outside. It’s super cosy

Staying at Ahmet’s house was truly special. The location is perfect — peaceful and quiet, yet so close to everything you could want. It’s just a short, scenic walk down to the seaside, where you can catch a ferry to Bebek and soak in one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods. There’s a supermarket nearby for all your essentials, and the views from the house are absolutely breathtaking — especially at sunset. Don’t miss it; it’s pure magic. Conveniently, there’s also a bus stop right outside the gate that takes you directly to Üsküdar, from where you can easily catch a ferry or metro to Hagia Sophia and all the iconic landmarks. If you’re up for a more scenic and budget-friendly experience, I highly recommend taking the ferry from Küçüksu to Aşiyan, and then to Üsküdar. It’s a beautiful way to see the city from the water without spending much at all. Ahmet’s place offers calm, beauty, and easy access to everything —Highly recommended.

only word to say; perfect! if you don't have a problem with climbing stairs, there's no other problem

I loved the neighborhood very local close to many attractions! pleasant stay. Remind its a wood house so you have some noises but nothing too bad. I loved there's Netflix and it's so pleasant to be chilling like at home!

The host, Ms. Ayten, gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. The house was much nicer than the photos; it had all the supplies we could need, tea and coffee facilities. The balcony views were great, thank you to Ms.😍 Ayten for sharing this beautiful house with us.

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!

Dear Hayri, Handan and Sena, This is really a superb place to stay in Istanbul: your apartment and the area around! It is on the Asian side of the city, where there is not so much mass tourism like in other parts. The neighbourhood is lively and nice, with many coffee-shops and little shops to explore, but also relaxing. The harbour and the bus station are very close to the apartment, so it is really easy and quick to get to the well-known sights. The apartment is wonderful and tastefully furnished, with good equipment, we did not miss a single bit. There is plenty of room, and it is quiet, on the top floor of a renovated old house. You as hosts are great, very friendly and responding so fast and helpful in every aspect. Thanks for all this. For sure, this is a place to come back. All the best, Georg and Regina

We had a great stay. Tuba was super helpful, engaged and quick to respond. It was a perfect apartment with a super nice view. We had a super good time!

Cosy place to stay near Galata tower for the whole family. Great host, flexible check-in.

The apartment is fantastic for spaciousness, views and extra services such as heated pool-sauna-gimnasio. Fatih is an excellent host who is always ready to help and gives you anything you need. Totally recommended

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.

You will have everything you need for your stay. Good location, great apartment and helpful host! Totally recommended

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.

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..

Amazing place with great view everything is as listed and the host is amazing really responsive and great. Would recommend

We stayed as a family during the Ramadan holiday. Everything was as shown in the picture, the interior of the house was very nice and it was nice to have a separate parking lot. The host was a very friendly brother, and Ms. Seda was quick to respond to our questions. The only negative was the TV, there was no satellite, just YouTube and Netflix. You can choose with peace of mind.

This is the second time we stay with Mr. Nuri in his cozy apartment, The apartment is exactly as described, clean and comfortable, recently renovated. There are all the necessary things for a comfortable stay, including nice little things that show that Nuri is caring for its guests. The apartment is 3 minutes from the M1 light metro station and the Metrobus stop. 7 minutes from the T1 tram station, which goes directly to the center of the historic part of Istanbul. Within walking distance there is a large 3M Migros supermarket. Nuri is always available to assist you and answer any questions you may have. We had a wonderful vacation and recommend this apartment

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 ✨
