Vacation rentals with a patio in Göktürk Merkez

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.

had a rough checking in. But after wards things were ok.

I stayed here for 6 weeks while I worked at a hospital nearby. The place is in a great location, with lots of cafes restaurants nearby. The house itself although quite small is lovely, cosy and clean. The view is amazing and the home was very well equipped for short term stays. I also felt very safe staying there as a solo female, security was great. Mehmet Selim was also very attentive and responsive. 10/10

We felt super comfortable from the first moment! The place was clean, well equipped and the view just fantastic. Volkan was a great host – very helpful and always available. There was really nothing missing. We loved staying! We would come back anytime!

We just wrapped up an incredible 10-day stay at Sencer’s place on Rıfat Efendi Sk., and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the apartment felt like home: spotlessly clean, flooded with natural light, and perfectly equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nestled in the colorful streets of Balat, it was a breeze to explore the neighborhood’s historic sites, cafés, and hidden art spots. What truly set this experience apart was our host, Sencer. Not only was he warm, attentive, and always on hand to answer questions or make recommendations, but he also happens to be the genius behind Pizzarotti, our go-to pizza spot (we lost count after our eighth visit in ten days!). The wood-fired pies, fresh toppings, and friendly service made every meal memorable. And Rotti, Sencer’s sweet pup, greeted us with wagging tail and endless cuddles whenever we came home. If you’re looking for a seamless stay in Istanbul this is the place!

It is a comfortable apartment with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In a very nice old neighborhood and close to Taksin Square and the port. The neighborhood is very nice. It has air conditioning to enjoy it in summer. It is a third floor without an elevator but with comfortable stairs. Without hesitation, it is an excellent option for its location, quality and price. The host greeted us personally and was then very active, advising us on things to do in Istanbul during our stay. Magnificent!!!

Amazing apartment that was spacious and clean. We absolutely loved having morning coffee on the balcony. The neighborhood is also great as it's close to the tram and not touristy (but you can walk to some touristy areas which is also nice). Furkan was helpful and communicative. Would definitely stay again.

“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!”

everything clean and nice, Furkan great host . the apartment very good, luxurious, Furkan the right person ,trustworthy, he interested in his job. the apartment spacious for 4-5 people but no more, as I stayed there one day and then we found a larger apartment for 7 people.

our stay was nice. The location of the house was in a very good place, we had easy access to many places. The house was clean and convenient. Mr. Baris took care of us and was very friendly. We would definitely prefer to stay here again and again if it is available without looking elsewhere on our Istanbul trips.

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

I had a truly wonderful stay! The apartment was exactly as described ,clean, cozy, and in a nice location, but what made the experience exceptional was the host. The owner went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment I arrived, they were kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful with recommendations and anything I needed. You can truly feel how much care and attention they put into making guests feel comfortable and at home. It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, and I would gladly stay here again.

Great location and surroundings! Great place to stay!

We felt very comfortable! The terrace is beautiful with the view of the Black Sea. The apartment is very spacious. We felt like part of the family, because Feyza's parents are very sweet and helpful!

We had a wonderful stay at Can's place. The listing is just as described but the view is even more beautiful in person! The house is clean, private and peaceful. It's on a hilly area but you can walk to restaurants and cafes in 10 minutes. Can was always responsive and super helpful. He also allowed us an early check-in. I would like to mention that we've stayed at many Airbnbs but this is probably the only one that was fully stocked with plenty of water bottles! We really appreciated that. Thank you to the host and we will definitely visit again. Highly recommended for short and long term stays.

We chose this home for its great reviews, beautiful style, and central location — and it truly exceeded our expectations. Ms. Ümmihan greeted us warmly at the door, the house was already heated and cozy, and she gave us a short tour that made settling in so easy. The entire place was spotless — no odors or stains, and the bed linens were perfectly clean. I’m quite sensitive, but I felt completely comfortable and slept like it was my own bed. The host and her assistant were incredibly kind and always available. The house is just a 5–10 minute walk from Ortaköy and the Bosphorus, yet it's on a quiet dead-end street with no traffic. A perfect stay — highly recommended!

Great place to stay! Wonderful location, very close to public transportation, lots to do. Very clean, spacious and roomy apartment. Very comfortable sleeping. The AC was a bonus. Great view from the balcony, very safe building.

We had a great time in Istanbul in this apartment located in Beyoğlu, a stone's throw from the Galata Tower. The apartment is very clean, recently renovated, quiet, and perfectly equipped. It has a separate bedroom with a very comfortable mattress, ideal for resting after a day of sightseeing. The host, Ram or Karim, is extremely available and attentive. They really know how to welcome: bottled water in quantity, toilet paper, everything is planned, nothing is missing. The location is exceptional: 2 minutes from Istiklal Avenue, the most commercial in Istanbul, with many good deals (much cheaper than in Paris!), while being away from the noise. Also close to the tunnel to reach the Galata Bridge, the tram to access the old town, and a few minutes from Şişli. This is undoubtedly one of the best locations to discover Istanbul. I would highly recommend it! Jean Claude and Isabelle Brunet May 2

It's a consistent delight to stay here. Just like every previous visit, everything was simply formidable, right from check-in through to check-out. My sincere thanks for your continued hospitality; I'm already counting down to my next visit

One of the places I can always go with the comfort of your own home, with its magnificent view and location. I highly recommend it.

Great place to stay if you want an authentic feel in a local neighbourhood which is walkable to main sights. The apartment itself is beautiful, very clean, and has a warm, welcoming feel. Benny was an exceptional host -thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Before we arrived, I asked about doing some laundry and he kindly picked up washing powder for us without even being asked. The fridge was stocked with water, which was a lovely touch. The neighborhood, while a little run-down in parts, felt deeply local and gave us the rare opportunity to experience the real Istanbul, away from the busy tourist spots. It was peaceful and quiet during the day, yet just a short walk or quick taxi ride from the bustling markets, main attractions, and business districts. Benny’s local guide was a great read, full of interesting recommendations. We were able to walk to most places, and when needed, local taxis were easy to use—just make sure the driver turns on the meter before you go.

Furkan was very friendly and responsive. He helped me a lot through the whole stay. I had a nice and cozy stay, the place felt like home.

The apartment was spotless and quiet, with beautiful views from the terrace. The location is perfect for exploring Cihangir and beyond. Lisa was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Everything was perfect; I would gladly come back!

I can only echo what everyone else has said. The location is brilliant and having spent a week in the city we wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. We felt safe, slept peacefully and made the most of the great local restaurants and coffee shops. It was our favourite neighbourhood by far but equally very close to all the main sights. The house is beautiful presented and super clean. Places like this are exactly why we use airbnb all around the world. It was a home away from home with everything we could’ve needed. 5 stars from us!
