Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Sea of Marmara

We had a great stay! The apartment was very spacious and conveniently located - walking distance to Istiklal Street, Taksim Square, and surrounded by many restaurants. Public transportation was easily accessible. The host was excellent with clear communication and smooth check-in instructions. Everything was comfortable and easy. I’d definitely stay here again!

He and his family are very nice and polite and also the neighbors are better than the others. The apartment is in an area where everything is easier to reach. The bus station is very close. The supermarket is near. The apartment is cleaned and quiet. My advice is to try it. You won't hesitate to come back a second time. Thank you Aikoto and his family .

Great location, fantastic view, very accessible. The space was super comfortable, clean, and well equipped. Highly recommend!

The place is in a great location. With a partial view of the Bosphorus, mine has a nice morning. All public transport is super easy and quick to walk. Whether you have to go to the port, the metro or to the bus station. All shops serving daily needs in the immediate vicinity, as well as restaurants and coffees. Damla as a host is super nice, accommodating and quick to reach. The demand for the well-being of your guests alone shows what kind of person they are. I can only say thank you. We will definitely book the apartment again on our next visit. Thank you for everything

Really enjoyed my stay in Neriman’s apartment. The flat is perfectly situated right next to Galata Tower, with incredible views across Istanbul from the roof terrace. Neriman is a super responsive host, who met me when I arrived, showing me around the building and teaching me how to make Turkish Coffee. All in all would highly recommend the apartment for anyone looking for a great stay in and around Galata.

Best of the best place to stay in Istanbul

The house was just like in the photos. There are the necessary tools for cooking in the kitchen. The location was very central.

It was a goid place to stay with family.

Thank you Mr. Kerem for making us feel at home, he answered all our questions quickly. We were very satisfied with our stay, we will definitely consider this place again

We enjoyed our stay The view of the city was breathtaking. We spent our mornings just sitting in the balcony, sipping tea, and soaking in the peaceful vibe of the island, gently rocking in the chairs. The host was warm and welcoming. He even met us at the pier late at night after the ferry and gave us a ride to the house — such a thoughtful gesture. The house itself had the charm of an old, cozy home, with wooden furniture, soft rugs, blankets, and lots of cushions — it felt like a warm hug. We stayed at the end of April for about five days. It was a bit chilly inside because of the sea breeze, and we couldn’t really adjust the indoor temperature, but the thick blankets and endless cups of Turkish tea made it perfectly bearable.

You chose it to spend the weekend, it was one of the best weekends I've had thanks to this house. The house is incredibly peaceful, every detail is incredibly beautiful. Extremely clean. It was incredibly enjoyable to sit on the balcony against the sea view. Ms. Burcu was also very sweet, she took care of us from start to finish. Luna, her cat, was just as sweet, adding color to our weekend. Everything was a great experience.

We loved our stay SO much! Very close to the best sights. The host was so helpful and arranged to store our bags for an entire day. The restaurant he co-owned is SO SO good! We ate there twice. Our favorite restaurant of our entire trip. House was very clean and check in went very smoothly. We would definitely stay there again!

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.

It is a very pleasant villa that offers all the facilities. Everything is thought out, 3-4 families can have a pleasant time.

We received patient and quick answers to every question. The pool water was tremendously hot. Ideal for a pleasant short holiday. The hot bread and eggs thing in the morning was crucial:) thank you

We had a wonderful stay in Ali’s house. It is clean and well equipped. The location is magnificent, everything is around you. Shops, restaurants, cafes, and the lovely sea view are just within walking distance (5-10 minutes). I certainly would stay in this house again.

Well located , clean and quiet. The perfect match to discover this area walking up and coming down. The Hamman , sauna and the pool are a big plus for rainy days.

Strategic location to TUYAP exhibition hall. 10-15mins walking distance. One downside is the exit to TUYAP bridge only open after mall open which is after 10am. But overall not an issue for us if we choose to take a taxi towards TUYAP only cost us around 120-150 Turkish Lira. Overall, strategic location. Super kind and responsive host, clean stay

Our family of six absolutely loved our stay at Sinan's spacious apartment in Istanbul! The generous layout provided ample room for everyone, and the fully-equipped accommodation offered everything needed for an ideal city getaway. The location is truly exceptional - just minutes from the metro station and a short stroll to the tram line that takes you directly to the city center. Convenience is key with several small supermarkets literally steps from the front door. Sinan proved to be an outstanding host. His responsiveness was impressive, even when we arrived late in the evening. His kindness extended to arranging airport transportation for our departure, which made our trip ending stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting this magnificent city!

I stayed at a place with ainbnb for the first time, but everything went extremely well and well, Mr. Nuri was very good, very friendly and extremely punctual. We wanted to check in early on the day we checked in, since we arrived from afar, it was very helpful to us, it was ready at the time we called 😅 our house, but we could not come early, it is a place where I would definitely want to go again when I came to Istanbul, there is a metro station in front of the neighborhood, the house was clean and tidy, we had a host that we could reach without hesitation when we needed something, we thank Mr. Nuri for everything 🙏🏻☺️

The host is very kind and friendly, the house is exactly as it is in the photos. I am very, very satisfied.

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

Erhan has been a great host and provided easy and straightforward instructions and advice. Was very responsive to our questions and requests too. Would definitely recommend his place to anyone who wants to stay in a homely environment instead of a hotel.

We had a great time at Nilufer's apartment, she is a great host! The place was clean and had everything we needed it (a kitchen chopper would be useful :))). Many shops and place to eat nearby the apartment. Easy access to the bus/metrobus (it takes 30-40 minutes to the historical center). The parking spot was so useful! It's difficult to find parking places around the building/ in Istanbul.
