Apartment holiday rentals in Bahçeşehir, Başakşehir

Everything about Efkan’s place was perfect. It was a beautiful flat in a wonderful location; the views from the rooftop terraces were spectacular. Efkan could not have been more helpful in welcoming us upon arrival and assisting us throughout our stay - he regularly contacted us to check that everything was okay and gave us some excellent restaurant and cafe recommendations. On one occasion we requested an additional tea towel - a brand new tea towel was delivered to the door within ten minutes! Check in and check out were amazingly smooth. All in all, Efkan’s place is a terrific home in which to relax and from which to explore the magic of Istanbul.

I stayed here for 6 weeks while I worked at a hospital nearby. The place is in a great location, with lots of cafes restaurants nearby. The house itself although quite small is lovely, cosy and clean. The view is amazing and the home was very well equipped for short term stays. I also felt very safe staying there as a solo female, security was great. Mehmet Selim was also very attentive and responsive. 10/10

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!

Anastasia and the team were extremely efficient with responding to any questions and very helpful with recommendations. The apartment was lovely and had many restaurants, cafes and shops nearby. It was easy to travel by bus and tram to all the tourist spots. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Istanbul.

We were hosted in a wonderful house and in one of the most beautiful locations on the island. Waking up to the magnificent view in the window every day was also enjoyable. Our house was very clean like a museum and everything we needed was inside. We are really satisfied and I would recommend it to everyone. Our host contacted us immediately and helped us with everything.

If you’re looking for the perfect Istanbul experience, this apartment is it. Just a 2-minute walk from Galata Tower, the location couldn’t be better. The apartment was spotless, cozy, and had that authentic Istanbul charm. What made our stay even better were the cute little coffee shops nearby . Don’t miss the hidden antique bookstore tucked into a side street nearby—it’s magical. And if you follow the alley behind the tower, you’ll find a tiny rooftop terrace bar with stunning views of the Bosphorus. Not many tourists know about it. We’ll definitely be back!

Great solution for those who want to stay in the Göktürk area, Kemerburgaz and airport. Brand new house, everything is impeccable

Exceeded my expectation, left us having an absolutely gorgeous time. Outstanding place and amazing host. No complaints at all, just happiness after our stay. Felt like home with gorgeous view at the Bosporus.

Had a great couple of nights at Urban Quarters, it has a good locations and, being at the top of the apartment block, is above most of the noise and bustle of the town.

Had a fantastic stay! The flat was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable. Everything was exactly as described, and the host was responsive and helpful. Great location too - T1 tram station, 5 minutes on funicular to Taksim square. Highly recommend!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the place, the location and the host! She was very friendly and very accommodating to our check in and out times. The location is great, less than a 5 minute walk to Galata tower. Thank you for such a great stay!

We had an amazing stay in Istanbul! The apartment is beautiful, well-equipped, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal — very close to the Suleymaniye Mosque and within walking distance to the tram, which can take you anywhere. Serhad was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

Great location , walking distance from Taksim square. Very clean and modern apartment. Fantastic host very helpful.

The place was very nice and clean. The view was very good. Ms. Muge was a very good and thoughtful host. If there is another opportunity, we would love to come to the same place again.

It was a great stay and a very welcoming host. I would like to thank Nazlican and the other colleagues for their support to and prompt response .

This is an excellent 5-star apartment! The host was very helpful, responsive and made our check-in process very clear. The apartment was clean & tidy, and had supplies for washing dishes, washing clothes and shampoo & shower gel. The washing machine & dryer worked perfectly and were very handy during our stay. The apartment has two bedrooms with air conditioning units as well as an ac unit in the living room. They all work extremely well and kept us cool during our stay (June 2025). The view from the living room is spectacular! Most days we ate our breakfast the kitchen counter and just gazed out at the Bosphorus; the view makes this apartment a one-of-a-kind property! You can walk up some stairs (lots of cats) and be in a buzzing district with cafes & restaurants & a big Carrefour grocery store. Most days we walked down the hill to use the tram to get around and then at the end of the day we took the funicular up to Taksim and had a pleasant stroll to the apartment.

Two bedroom/two full bath apartment in the middle of the action - 7 min walk to the grand bazaar. The owner's uncle meets you to let you in and is very responsive if you need anything. The area is quite busy and full of traffic, but that is Istanbul. The apartment is on the 5th floor and the elevator is a little small but it dose the trick. Not luxury but very comfortable and very clean.

Great location and communication from host. Would definitely stay again.

I was lucky enough to book this space on my trip to Istanbul & it was the highlight of my trip. The location is amazing with easy access to all the key areas. The host, Meriman, is the best. She has a rooftop with amazing views that stocked with Turkish coffee & great seating. Meriman was also nice enough to give us a ton of great guidance! I would highly recommend staying here!!!

Absolutely loved this place. It is on the 5th floor with no elevator, so if you are not for climbing stairs, this isn't your place. The staff did tote the luggage up and down. I personally wanted the exercise, and the view was worth it. I don't know that Istanbul offers a better view. Beware of the Galataport drop off. A LOT of stairs to get home even though it says .2-.3 mile walk. Every bit is stairs from the water. I would stay here again if visiting Istanbul

This Airbnb was a fantastic find! It easily ranks in my top three stays. The location was great, and there was plenty of space. The entire place was spotlessly clean, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Honestly, everything was pretty much perfect. We did experience some minor internet issues, but I believe that was beyond the host's control. Despite that, I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

This is an amazing place, located very near Taksim Square with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is beautiful. It has big rooms and fully renovated bathrooms. There is also a big terrace and a well equipped kitchen. The host is very friendly and responsive. The instructions to check in are clear. I couldn’t find anything negative. Highly recommended.

It was easy to find. Thanks to the direct location. Overall, it was a good experience. It's in a good place in the neighborhood. It was on the ground floor, but the air conditioning was good, the bathroom was simple and clean, and the refrigerator was cooling very well. The seats were comfortable. I had no privacy issues, which was one of the important points for me. I am satisfied. Thanks again.

I loved this place a lot! The owner was always super friendly and nice, trying to help me with all the little issues that we had. But everything else was just amazing. The building is pretty old, so you might get some WiFi issues sometimes, but it’s super easy fixable, he will explain what you gotta do, just reach out to him. Thank you for having us! I will definitely get back there next time when I’m in Istanbul!
