Vacation rentals with a patio in Sea of Marmara

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!

Everything matched the photos, the location was great. The private terrace is perfect for the hot weather

The manager, Mr. Bashar, was very helpful throughout our stay. He even arranged transport for us to/from IST airport, we truly appreciated. The property is on flat land, just a 2-minute walk from Osmanbey Metro Station. The area is lively, plenty of eateries, cafes, & convenience stores nearby. It's a small duplex with 3 bedrooms on the upper floor, sharing 1 bathroom. The staircase to the upper floor might be a bit steep for some, so do check if that’s a concern. The furniture is a little dated but still functional. There are two TVs—in living room & in main bedroom (a few satellite channels), but the remote for the living room TV needs fixing (before the next guest). The location is excellent—just one metro stop to Taksim & on M2 line. Can reach almost all major attractions via Metro/Tram connections, so there's really no need to stay right in the middle of the tourist zone. A great place to stay with a fantastic location. Special thanks again to Mr Bashar for his kind assistance!

This place never fails me its not my first time one of the best stays in Istanbul highly recommend

It is a really warm and friendly hosting, providing very quick responses and clear instructions, and I would like to thank Mr. Hakan for these. It is very calm, but if you are coming by car, it can be difficult to find parking, so if you don't want paid parking, you may need to leave it on the main street. The view from the house was very nice, very simple entrances and exits, it was a really pleasant trip.

I’m a frequent business traveler, so one of the main concern I have is the feeling of home. Not anymore after I met Ceyhun, always will be the #1 choose so I definitely recommended!

Huseyin's place and hospitality was the perfect escape from the beautiful chaos that is Istanbul. It's tucked away on the hills of Cihangir with hands down the best view of the Bosphorus. The living room was very cozy with a massive couch that I spent many nights working from. The attached sun room that led to the backyard was gem and it made it very hard to leave given it is very rare to find so much space in Istanbul. Plus, the cats that come visit you every morning and evening was like a Disney fairytale, ha. The two bathrooms were small but designed well. The washing machine worked well. The kitchen was minimally stocked but there are so many restaurants in the area that I didn't even bother to cook. The bedroom has a view of the backyard and was nice to be able to sleep with the windows open free of noise given the positioning of the apartment. The building itself has a lot of charm, seemed historic, and generally felt safe! Wifi was very strong to be able to work remote!

Thanks again for a great weekend as always…

Great host, clean house close to the sea. Definitely would recommend.

The house is very nice and there is a raft in the bathroom, the accommodation was very quiet, there is a very wonderful garden and the house is all available and clean

Thank you. Everything was good

Thank you, Rayhan, the good reception and the apartment is the most wonderful I felt like my home

The view from this house is incredible. I really havent seen a better view than this. The garden in front is wonderful to sit at and enjoy the landscape. The neighborhood and house was very quiet, and its quite private. The street is not busy. The house has everything you need for cooking meals and it was all clean. The bathroom and shower is generously sized, I loved it, and the heater and AC work very well, cooling down quickly if you need it or heating up quickly if you need it. Also, there were many streaming options on the tv, which is great. The host was responsive and very kind. We had no issues here. But seriously, the landscape is very very gorgeous and the price was very reasonable.

We were greeted with a smiling face by hosts. We had a henna night and a stag party for our 6 teacher friends. It was an environment we enjoyed a lot. Very clean. Kitchen utensils were enough. Beds and linens were clean. The items were a quality. The temperature of the house and most importantly the temperature of the pool was very good. The pool was cozy even later in the night. It's a place to go from there.

The house is very close to the lake in a central location. Cleanliness was very good. We did not have any problems in terms of linens, pool, etc. The items were new and had everything we needed. Only the cover on the hot tub wouldn't close. We couldn't use it. And because it's so close to the road, there's car noises, but if you're going to go in the winter, it's not too much of

A very beautiful village located halfway up the mountain. You can directly see the sea. The villagers are very enthusiastic and will help us when we encounter problems. It is a very good place and worth coming back in the future😁😁😁😁

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.

Ece is a great host and very quick to respond to queries. A great location. Thanks Ece!

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.

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

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.
