Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bosphorus

Honestly and without exaggeration The place, location and reception staff are excellent and deserve my sincere thanks... I will return to stay with them whenever circumstances permit and I will recommend friends to stay without hesitation... I hope the hotel management will kindly reward the reception staff for their good work

Hamdi is the best host I've ever seen, with his sincerity and interest. He took care of us immediately when we had the slightest problem or needed something. He did his best to make us enjoy the holiday. The house has everything you're looking for. It is comfortable and has very good privacy. The balcony and the view are more beautiful than the photos. I definitely recommend this place to those who will have a holiday in Heybeliada. Get a reservation without thinking.

The place itself was amazing—just as described and exactly like the photos. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. For anyone traveling to Istanbul by car, this location is ideal since it offers free parking right behind the building. The host was incredibly responsive, available almost 24/7, and checked in daily to make sure we had everything we needed—he truly cared about our comfort. Everything was perfect, especially the hospitality. Highly, highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Eyo’s place! The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Eyo was also very responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend!

This was our second time staying at the little white house, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The home was spotless, spacious, and perfect for our family reunion — we felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The neighborhood is beautiful and full of charm, with plenty of great cafes, bars, and shops nearby, and the Bosphorus just a short walk away. Suha and his team are incredibly kind and responsive, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The value for what you get is truly impeccable. We had a fantastic time and would love to come back again in the future. Thank you again for being such a thoughtful host.

If you plan to visit the historic sites in Istanbul, Giorgio’s place should be first on your list of places to look at. Located within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, the Palace, the Grand Bazaar and more, Giorgio’s apartment was an ideal spot for what we wanted to see in Istanbul. The apartment was clean, the bedrooms spacious and the hosts were super responsive. Communication was quick and helpful. The airport transfers for three day stays and longer made check in a breeze. And Giorgio arranged for return transfers to the airport (for a fee). This made checking out a breeze. There is a fantastic restaurant 10 meters from the front door (Begonville Cafe) where the workers treat you like family. Overall, our visit to Istanbul was stress free in part due to Giorgio’s apartment. We had a great experience and would recommend anyone to stay at Giorgio’s place.

Great place, really nice neighborhood and Moussaab is very helpful. It's a tight place for eight people but workable and great value for money.

The flat was a perfect place for our family to stay for 10 days. It was in a fantastic area within a short walking distance of the Galata area and a 5 minute walk from the tram stop, from which is was very easy to get to the Sultanahmet area (or you can do the longer walk across the Galata bridge!). Ömer was extremely helpful and responsive, and made us feel very welcome.

Great place! Neighbourhood fantastic and quiet at night. Lots of space and light in the common spaces. One of the 2 bedrooms is very small but we managed to have a good rest and enough space for 4 people in any case.

Julia’s place was amazing! The views were spectacular, and well worth the stairs each day. You wouldn’t get a better panoramic appreciation of Istanbul looking back at the old town and across the Bosphorus. We were close to the Galata Tower and a vibrant area for food and culture.

Our stay at Menti’s stunning apartment in the heart of Istanbul was pure magic! The place was impeccably clean, beautifully styled with a mix of modern and Turkish charm, and had everything we needed for a perfect trip. Menti was an absolute gem, welcoming us with warm hospitality, helping to organize transport to/from the airport and sharing insider tips on the best local spots. Waking up to the sounds of the city and sipping Turkish tea or raki on the terrace while watching the sunset was pure bliss. This place is a must-stay for anyone visiting Istanbul, and we're already planning our return. Can't recommend this Istanbul treasure enough to anyone exploring this vibrant city! Menti, çok çok teşekkür ederim!

It was a good apartment with a beautiful view! The stairs up and down to the tram were a challenge. A very good workout! It is not suitable if you have difficulty climbing stairs. We will definitely recommend this space. The communication with Liker was great! He responded immediately and helped us very well.

We loved our stay near Galata Tower! The location was even more perfect than we had hoped for, the view was gorgeous, the space was clean and we felt like home the entire time. Neriman was extremely helpful and kind and we would definitely recommend her place to others/hope to come back! Thanks so much!

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.

“An exceptional Airbnb experience from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, the host was outstanding, and the property was spotless and beautifully maintained. Highly recommend!”

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.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The apartment was very clean, and the location gave us easy access to Taksim, Istiklal Street, and other parts of the city. The host was responsive and available whenever we had questions, and the check-in process was smooth and straightforward. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for a long stay — it’s comfortable and well-situated for exploring Istanbul.

Dilek's place was modern and beautiful with many amenities and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing we found uncomfortable was that the smaller of the two bedrooms was hot and it did not have AC. The larger bedroom and the living room did have AC. We thought to open the window but the window faced the hallway inside the building. Overall it was a great modern apartment and we were happy with our decision to stay there. Dilek was easy to reach and responsive. thank you Dilek!

Lovely district with many good bars and restaurants. Very clean flat with comfortable bed and sofa in the living room. Great view from the roof terrace. A fantastic option in Cihangir district.

The place was very clean and updated. Right next to Galata tower so everything was in walking distance. Apartment is on the second floor but there is an elevator to get up so that is very helpful. The host Volkan is very responsive and gives great recommendations. He is very friendly and the best host making you feel right at home with the great amenities and providing everything you need

Gokhan is very kind, responsive host. We traveled with a baby and Gokhan solved our issue where to leave our stroller. On the day of our arrival, the local government cut water supply and Gokhan kindly provided water bottles. Recommended.

Great location for Istanbul Finanskent. Walking distance from big shopping malls.

Erhan is the perfect host and was both helpful and gracious in his communication with us. Excellent proactive communication and he keyed in on some of our visits. He had additional suggestions of places to see bases on our interests and comments. Highly recommend his beautiful property and fun city!

We had a great stay at Berna’s. Location was excellent and loads of recommendations from a friendly host. Would stay again!
