Holiday rentals with a patio in Başakşehir

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!

- beautiful place (better than photos) - everything you need is in the place: washing machine, dishwasher, etc. - perfectly located place (lots of restaurants nearby, 3 mn walk to the Galata tower although very peaceful quiet charming district) - very clear and organised instructions for check-in and life in the flat - terrace with a garden and quiet charming street view was perfect in the morning for coffee and at night for dinner and wine

The apartment was great. It’s very spacious, clean, and having two bathrooms is a bonus. There are lovely views from the living area as well. It can be loud at night, and the walk up is tiring, but nothing terrible. Would recommend to groups of 3 or 4 people.

I hosted my family at Mr. Zak’s place and we stayed for about 10 days. Everything about the apartment was perfect. Had the smallest of amenities present. All spaces were extremely comfortable. Location was absolutely ideal; barely a minute’s walk to the metro station and Cevahir Mall. The hosts were very responsive and attended all our concerns in a timely and friendly manner. I would definitely stay again :)

A perfect place to explore Balat and further afield. Our taxi from the airport struggled to locate exact address of property and his vehicle didn't like the very narrow cobbled streets!!

Lovely home. Very cozy. Nice restaurants and a few supermarkets not far. Highly recommend.

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!

This is a wonderful place from which to enjoy the very best that Cihangir, Beyoglu, and Istanbul have to offer: a beautiful side street in the city's most charming neighborhood, spectacular views of the Bosporus/Golden Horn and Old City, and a very charming, well-proportioned, and designed apartment. Check-in was also excellent—I would very gladly stay here again.

Apartments are beautiful, large, and in a great location - we really loved our stay and would absolutely recommend this place to friends! Things to know: the two floors are totally separate apartments; they are pretty anonymous rental flats in terms of what to expect in the kitchen; we experienced some cultural differences around checkout and other communication, but no major issues; the offered airport pickup required that we wait around the airport for about 40 minutes but was otherwise easy

The best time I had in Istanbul ❤️ great location, wonderful old renovated building! Thanks for atmosphere and Berke’s helpfulness and hospitality

Beautiful house. Really nicely done for comfort and quality. Really welcoming and very helpful host. The lounge is a little cosy for more than three people, but we (four) made it work well enough and there's plenty of space otherwise. Some lovely shops just down the road, very easy to pop out to buy breakfast etc. Just a few minutes walk from Tram 5, which goes to the Spice market. Very firm beds which we liked, lots of little extra touches, such as slippers, exfoliating pads, napkins, bottled water. Made it feel quite lux! Loved it - would definitely go back!

Emre's place made an unforgettable memory for us. We were there for about 10 days, the place matched the description and the photos, close to public transportations and He has been very helpful and responded. For example, We needed a baby chair , a baby bed and we found the pans not useful for us. he immediately provided them. Emre was really great and very lovely. Highly recommended.

It was a real pleasure to stay at your place during our visit to Istanbul. The place is very nice and very clean, and there’s all we needed during our stay. Very close to everything shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions just 5min walk to the blue mosque and hagia Sofia mosque. The place has two floors and makes it like two apartments in one and this was great for us, we stayed in one floor with the kids and gave the second floor to my mom and my niece who came with us. The host was very professional, polite and very helpful. He provided a great service he organised the taxi for us from and to the airport and even walked us through the nearby area and showed us the better shops and restaurants and the different shortcuts to get to centre. Thanks a million for everything and we really appreciate!!

Can and Jacki are great hosts! They helped plan airport transfers for our group to and from the Airbnb. They also provided us with many recommendations in the local area. The location of the place was amazing! Very close to public transit to get to the Old City and many nice stores within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here!

Every thing was good Mustafa sehr freundlich

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!

Apartment is located very close to galata tower. The location is perfect with sunset view from the roof. Lots of restaurants, cafe and bars around. Apartment is located on4th floor and building doesn’t have elevator so a good source of workout. Warm, quiet space with loads of windows. I felt at home. Fully equipped with amenities.

What team was excellent through and through. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this Airbnb.

Benny is very friendly, helpful and very responsive to messages. He personally welcomed us and gave us very good tips. The apartment is perfect for visiting Istanbul. Although very close to a main thoroughfare it is quiet. The bus stop is very close, so we were able to get everywhere very well by public transport. The area is still rather simple, the apartment stands out very positively here. The apartment can be reached via a somewhat narrow staircase and is on two floors. Downstairs are two bedrooms and a toilet, upstairs is a nice living room with balcony, a well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower. We felt very comfortable and safe and would very much like to come back.

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.

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.

It offered flexible check-in, I had a very professional and quality welcome, the location of the house is very nice, close to everywhere, and I did not have any problems thanks to the quick and open responses of Ms. Lisa, thank you

This was one of my favorite Istanbul stays! Both the location & the house were amazing & so we enjoyed going out & staying in in our cozy space. Very stylish & smart design. The host is super responsive & very helpful. We truly enjoyed this stay & definitely coming back ✨
