Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Çekmeköy

Great apartment very near to Galata Tower! Lots of shops, food, and things to do! It's 2 flights up stairs so if you have heavy luggage, just be ready to carry that up. Other than the noise level being a bit constant, it was still easy to get rest. The place is amazing with high ceilings, plenty of room, and beautiful design. We didn't have too much trouble finding taxis either. I don't recommend using Uber for taxis, just hail one yourself and pay cash and make sure they use the taximeter on the rearview mirror; there are many drivers scamming tourists by verbally giving a high fixed price or charging people the max amount allowed on the Uber app even when the actual fare is much lower. Other than the inflated economy causing lots of tourists being taken advantage of, we had a wonderful time in Turkey at this apartment. I think the cost is a bit high for Turkey, but if you are splitting the cost, it's worth it. I would definitely recommend!

Very big and cozy space with all the amenities needed and a nice living room to chill and relax

Great place, centrally located, we felt very comfortable. Yusuf took excellent care of us, was always available, always helped immediately, accommodating, absolutely reliable. We will be happy to come back.

The apartment is very nice and offers everything you need. The location is absolutely brilliant! We would immediately choose this apartment again if we visited Istanbul again.

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

Jundo was a friendly reaponsive host. Easy to communicate with and he made the appartment available for us 2 hours before agreed upon check in. He let us check in our bags at the building too. Great experience, i really recommend the apartment

I had an unforgettable stay in the heart of Cihangir, in a peaceful and elegant location. This place is not just an accommodation but truly feels like a second home in Istanbul. Every detail has been meticulously considered: a spacious and comfortable living area, the pleasure of a home cinema experience on a large screen, a bright and quiet neighborhood… Even the bed, pillows, and dryer have been carefully chosen with comfort in mind. For those working remotely, this place is also an excellent choice! There is a dedicated workspace where you can comfortably take care of your business. Sara, made this experience even more special. With her warm hospitality, excellent recommendations about the city, and attention to every detail from check-in to even sharing the local grocery store’s number, she truly made me feel at home. If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed home in Istanbul, this is definitely the right place! I will definitely be back!

Great location, a few issues but very easily sorted and very quickly. Very comfortable and it was a great base while in Istanbul.

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.
