Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Kartal

Very nice and spacious apartment.

Great opportunity to get out of the city and relax.

It was a villa where everything was thought of. There was even ice in the refrigerator. Although we messed it up a little, we tried to tidy it up as much as we could in the morning :) I wish him plenty of customers.

If you plan to visit the historic sites in Istanbul, Giorgio’s place should be first on your list of places to look at. Located within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, the Palace, the Grand Bazaar and more, Giorgio’s apartment was an ideal spot for what we wanted to see in Istanbul. The apartment was clean, the bedrooms spacious and the hosts were super responsive. Communication was quick and helpful. The airport transfers for three day stays and longer made check in a breeze. And Giorgio arranged for return transfers to the airport (for a fee). This made checking out a breeze. There is a fantastic restaurant 10 meters from the front door (Begonville Cafe) where the workers treat you like family. Overall, our visit to Istanbul was stress free in part due to Giorgio’s apartment. We had a great experience and would recommend anyone to stay at Giorgio’s place.

The flat was a perfect place for our family to stay for 10 days. It was in a fantastic area within a short walking distance of the Galata area and a 5 minute walk from the tram stop, from which is was very easy to get to the Sultanahmet area (or you can do the longer walk across the Galata bridge!). Ömer was extremely helpful and responsive, and made us feel very welcome.

Great host and a lovely guy, lovely place to stay also!!

Mr. Ahmet's interest was definitely at a high level. The location of the house may really be one of the best places you can find in Istanbul. We enjoyed a pristine house and a wonderful garden. We will definitely choose it again

Sure! Here’s a warm, professional, and detailed review you can post on Airbnb in response to the host’s request: ⸻ We came from Ankara as a production crew to film a YouTube series, and this place exceeded all our expectations! The house itself is stunning—spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with attention to detail. The view is absolutely breathtaking; we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for our shoots. The location was peaceful yet accessible, perfect for both creativity and relaxation. We also stayed overnight and had everything we needed—comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and strong Wi-Fi for our production needs. A huge thank you to our host, who was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. He made sure everything ran smoothly, and his hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommended American dude! He can solve everything you need in Istanbul better than Istanbulite :)

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.

Charming little place within walking distance to Taksim Square. Ugar was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I had a few requests, and he was more than happy to accommodate them. After six weeks of travelling and staying in and out of hotels, stepping into Ugar’s apartment truly felt like coming home. The bed was comfortable, the room nice and dark for a restful sleep, and the building felt safe and secure. I’d happily recommend this place. The only small issue was the lack of cutlery in the kitchen - likely just an oversight that I’m sure will be sorted quickly.

The communication with Orbay was smooth — he responded quickly. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and spacious, which made it comfortable for a longer stay. The private terrace with a nice view was a great spot to relax. Overall, a good place to stay.

Great location , walking distance from Taksim square. Very clean and modern apartment. Fantastic host very helpful.

Uygar was a fantastic host, very helpful and quick to respond. The apartment is located in the center of a cultural area of Istanbul, close to a market and excellent dining options. Within the area, you can move around without a car. If you drive, there's a reasonably priced parking lot two minutes' walk from the building; you can pay up to c. $15 for 24-hour parking. If you don't have a lot of or heavy luggage, this duplex two-bedroom flat on the third level is ideal. If I were to return to Istanbul, I would stay there once more. Many thanks, Uygar

The room is spacious - we had a small living room with a couch and a kitchenette. The room was clean with all necessary items we need for our stay. However, there was a shower leaking causing the water pressure not strong enough. There was 24/7 receptionist ensuring smooth check-in and check-out. The host was very welcoming - they offered free tea or coffee and cookies upon our arrival. They also recommended a few locations in Istanbul for us to visit. We arrived the hotel by public transit. The road from the nearest tram station to the hotel is a bit incline and bumpy with a few staircases (very typical Istanbul road structure). If you carry suitcases, consider taking a taxi or a private car.

First of all, this space is STUNNING!! So comfortable, with a gorgeous view! Hasan was attentive, helpful and quick to respond with any of our needs. I would highly recommend this Airbnb during your time in Istanbul.

Absolutely fantastic stay! Hetem was extremely hospitable and accommodating to any needs or issues. He was also very friendly and gave many restaurant location as well as sight-seeing advice. The location was also walkable to the center of Taksim Square. Made my stay extra special and difficult to leave. I’ll be back soon!

The host was always responsive and easy to communicate. We liked how calm were the surroundings while it was easy to reach everything we needed by walking. The bathroom is worth renovating but we didn't mind it, and everything was spotless clean.

The house is amazingly beautiful, you need to do your shopping before you come. The dirt road before you get home might scare you, but it's a short one. The house is immaculate, from the barbecue area to the pool. A safe and beautiful place to stay. We had trouble with the grocery store, we made a 15 km detour for the butcher. Apart from that, everything was very nice

Everything was great from booking to checkout. Mr. Firat is a very good host, the employees were just as interested. The house has all the details you'll need. Thank you so much for everything

The accommodation was exactly as in the photo. We had no problems with communication, our questions were answered immediately. The location was very convenient and safe. We received it clean and tidy. It's a really ideal place to relax, have fun and swim

place is lovely and spacious, was perfect for our little family reunion . Location is great right next to the sea, lots of space for everyone, weather wasn’t good enough for the pool or swimming in the sea but we had great time by the open fire and in the little summer house in the garden. Had everything we need in the kitchen ,only thing is home decor wasn’t our taste but that is really very personal. Garden is the die for, well recommend it x

Staying here feels like stepping into a charming historic mansion, right in the heart of the city. The tasteful, impeccably clean décor blends timeless elegance with modern comfort every detail is thoughtfully curated. Although the vibrant city is just outside, inside you’ll find a peaceful, serene atmosphere. It’s a true urban sanctuary where you can relax and feel completely at ease.

First of all, we had a very healthy communication from the first day until the end of our stay. The house was very clean and convenient. Thanks for everything…

We liked it very much as a place, because of the garden, it was very good for the house due to the fact that the house is wooden, but you do not spend time in the house, it makes a little noise when you walk, but you are just going to sleep, so it is not very disturbing, thanks to the host, it was very kind and caring, thank you very much, we stayed very satisfied.
