Vacation rentals with a patio in Şamlar

We had a wonderful stay. Communication with the host was excellent — very quick, friendly, and helpful. Check-in was smooth and everything was clearly explained. The apartment itself is just perfect — ideally located on a quiet street, yet just around the corner from cafes and shops. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no elevator, but we were informed about that in advance — and honestly, the beautiful view is worth every step! You're just a short walk from the ferry dock, which makes it easy to explore different parts of Istanbul by boat. There are also many great sights within walking distance. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you might need, whether for a short or long stay. We combined work and vacation — and working with a view of the Bosphorus was pure joy. We would love to come back!

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.

Staying at Erkan's was an experience. The reception was warm, including a full fridge with drinks. The apartment with the terrace overlooking the Bosphorus is simply breathtaking. The apartment itself was nicely furnished, very clean and spacious! The location was perfect and was walking distance to all attractions. Erkan always took care of us and was always easily and quickly accessible. I can highly recommend the apartment and will definitely take this apartment again on my next visit.

Bedirhan was an extremely excellent host he was one of the best Airbnb hosts that I have ever met. he arranged for airport transport which was extremely helpful for my family of four and two luggages each person. he was there to meet us at the Airbnb to help us with our luggage and to show us in and give us a home tour. this was very helpful because Istanbul is very congested and I doubt I would have been able to find the apartment building myself. anytime there was an issue he was extremely responsive and was able to actually come to the home itself and resolve it himself. if it was something that he could not resolve he was able to call a technician who was able to come in within a few hours. he also helped us arrange for airport transport back to the airport even though me and my family were flying on separate flights. the view in the Airbnb is very much like the photos and the B&B is an extremely good value considering the view as well as the area that we were in.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Uskadar! Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen for cooking, brewing various forms of coffee, tea, fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space for all guests. The rooms were comfortable, the apartment was clean and well cared for. The balcony Was our favorite part as it looked out onto the water and provided lovely views of the neighborhood,the beautiful mosques and provided the best cool breeze. You are right around the corner to a grocery store, bakery, countless coffee/tea shops, restaurants, and the location to the metro was very convenient. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful, clean and conveniently located stay in Uskadar.

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!!

I would highly recommend staying at Başak’s apartment in Moda! She made it very easy to check in and out, and had thoroughly cleaned the apartment before checking in. The apartment is in the perfect location too! Thank you, Başak!

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.

nice place to stay, location is perfect and the home is better than expected

Amazing stay at this beautiful, private retreat surrounded by stunning nature! The property is perfect for a peaceful getaway, with a charming village market nearby offering delicious fresh fruit. A car is a must to explore the area. The highlight was the incredibly helpful property keeper, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

We did not have any problems during the stay. The house was as in the photos. It was really good in terms of transportation. The subway is right at the bottom. There are Migrosjet, pharmacy, Starbucks, etc. around. Everything was as described.

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!

We spend 12 days at this place. Deniz has been very friendly and organized. The reception makes the logistics very smooth. The place was clean and close to shopping areas. We will definitely go there again.

The house was very clean and tidy, they also helped with the check-in/check-out time. Mr. Kaan is one of the most interested hosts I have seen on airbnb, you can stay with peace of mind.
