Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bosphorus

Where does one even begin when everything was just perfect? Oya and Ned are the frendliest and most caring Airbnb hosts I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They welcomed us very warmly, gave us a tour of the flat and explained how everything works and to reach out to them if we had any requests. Ned was very reactive every time we messaged him to ask for recommendations and on the last day Oya made sure a taxi would be waiting for us just outside the house to take us to the airport. What else can I say? Just the perfect stay :)

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.

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.

Peaceful and comfortable accommodation with amazing views and all the creature comforts. An excellent base for exploring Istanbul by ferry or bus, with nice cafes nearby. Can recommend using a delivery service (we used Getir) to get groceries in.

Great place to stay - quiet and peaceful while you are still in the middle of everything.The place has all the amenities possible and are top quality. It’s best place to stay with or without kids, easy to walk to Taksim square and a minute away with access to grocery/eateries. Recommended the hospitality of Zelal and the place!

Beautifu homel just off a vibrant street in a charming district. Convenient to great restaurants, cafes and shops and public transport options to the key attractions. The house is cosy and welcoming with convenient immaculate bathrooms on each floor. The heated floors and large bath are just fabulous!

We truly enjoyed our time at this beautiful family home! The location is great, and all the amenities are just as described and fully functional. Giorgio and his partners were incredibly responsive, making our trip even better. Overall, our experience was exceptional, thanks to their outstanding customer service and the lovely home. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at this wonderful place!

The space is over three floors. Kitchen had all the essentials and more. Middle floor had a nice living room and dining area. Great water pressure in the bathrooms! We, a family of 6 and a baby, really enjoyed the place!

It was second stay in this place this month! Perfect room! Quite and comfortable Highly recommend

One of my best stays with Airbnb, clean and comfy apartments, everything required was already available. Didn’t have to ask for anything. Love this place, will come again

We loved Gizem and Korhans place. We felt at home immediately. The fresh flowers on the table were such a beautiful touch. Their home was spotlessly clean. A perfect place to retreat and relax from the rush of this beautiful city. We stayed two weeks with our two teenage kids. They also loved the home and the cool neighborhood with the shops and restaurants. We can highly recommend Gizem and Korhans place. They are also very helpful and reply immediately.

It is a great location and close to site seeing, wonderful shopping and restaurants.

Very friendly staff they helped us with early check-in , spacious one bedroom in a very nice area will definitely come back

It was a great stay! The place was exactly as promised, Mr Mohammed was very helpful we appreciated his hospitality and we really enjoyed staying here. We recommend this place if you gonna stay in Istanbul for a couple of days.

The airbnb was excellent for our stay. We were in a very vibrant area of the city in a great airbnb that matched the description. Sarah was a fantastic host! Very kind and helpful during our whole stay. Would book again.

Host is wonderful, highly recommend

Ms. Melike's quick and solution-oriented responses helped us a lot. The apartment was as shown in the photos, very clean, clean in the facilities, and the attendants were friendly. Thank you for this beautiful experience we had.

Title: Wonderful Stay, Fantastic Host! I had the pleasure of staying at this amazing apartment, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated—exactly as shown in the listing. The location was perfect, close to key attractions, public transport, and some great local restaurants. What really stood out, though, was the Ksenia the host. She was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. From offering local tips to making sure I was comfortable, their hospitality made all the difference. I felt well taken care of throughout my entire stay. The apartment was well-stocked with everything from fresh towels to a fully equipped kitchen, which made it easy to feel at home. The Wi-Fi was fast, and the place was peaceful and quiet—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay again.

You will have everything you need for your stay. Good location, great apartment and helpful host! Totally recommended

Perfect location, big and nice place!

The apartment was as shown in the photos. It was clean and comfortable. There was no safety and privacy issue. Although we kept it recently, Mr. Deniz was helpful. Shops, restaurants nearby in the location. Transportation is easy. I recommend anyone who wants to stay on the Anatolian side to give a chance.

Excellent location. Excellent host. Good public transport links. Additional recommendations by host really added value to our holiday experience. A truly unique stay in a beautiful charming region of Istanbul city. Thoroughly recommend it!

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.

Ugur is an incredible host. We were traveling to Istanbul for our wedding and Ugur helped find a laundry service to help iron a wedding dress and tuxedo! His office is located around the corner and was quick to reply to any questions or concerns. We saw a few reviews about noise but we felt the apartment was very quiet and had no issues.
