Apartment holiday rentals in Sea of Marmara

Had a fantastic stay! The flat was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable. Everything was exactly as described, and the host was responsive and helpful. Great location too - T1 tram station, 5 minutes on funicular to Taksim square. Highly recommend!

An absolutely amazing place to stay! Living room overlooks Galataport and we got to see quite a few large cruise ships. Loved all the resident kitties, one even had three kittens in the courtyard. Air conditioning is a godsend and the fan in the bedroom was perfect. Fair warning, it’s either up or down quite some stairs or a steep hill to get everywhere, but honestly we loved that. A great workout!

First, the host Efkan was terrific. Waiting for us at the front door, he carried our two suitcases up to the 5th floor apartment, saving two old travellers from the struggle of doing it ourselves! Efkan responded to all our texts almost immediately, and was a great host The flat is well equiped (although no oven),and has a fantastic terrace overlooking the Bosphorous, where my wife and I enjoyed a glass of wine every evening. A joy. It is very central (beside the Galata Tower), so good for seeing all the important attractions, either on foot, public transport or taxi. Being in the center of town means there are street noises at night, like car horns, or people on a night out...nothing unusual, but part of city life.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the place, the location and the host! She was very friendly and very accommodating to our check in and out times. The location is great, less than a 5 minute walk to Galata tower. Thank you for such a great stay!

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!

We were hosted in a wonderful house and in one of the most beautiful locations on the island. Waking up to the magnificent view in the window every day was also enjoyable. Our house was very clean like a museum and everything we needed was inside. We are really satisfied and I would recommend it to everyone. Our host contacted us immediately and helped us with everything.

Clean apartment with best view that you can find in entire Istanbul! Very responsive host. They helped us with luggage (which is a big thing), transportation (which was cheaper and more comfortable than at the airport, so I strongly recommend to arrange through them)! The location is not far from Galata port, Taksim and Galata( walking distance) There is one thing that you need to consider before booking; the entire area is up on a hill and you will have to walk the steps even to get to the cab. We had a stroller, kid and a disabled person and it was very challenging for us. But that’s not the host’s issue of course, but entire area.

We were very satisfied. The host was interested. The house was very well-maintained and clean. Very good view and location, we were satisfied with everything

Yalcin was extremely communicative, making it an easy and comfortable stay. The walk to the third floor is a bit of a hike, but Hamdi came to assist both upon checkin and checkout. The hospitality both showed was excellent. The apt is in a bustling area and is a great value.

Had a great couple of nights at Urban Quarters, it has a good locations and, being at the top of the apartment block, is above most of the noise and bustle of the town.

Beautiful home close to the Galata Tower. Comfortably furnished with everything needed to eat in and relax while enjoying an amazing view and the sounds of the city below. Hosts are super responsive and eager to help make your stay perfect. Definitely worth the 5 flights of stairs!!

Sena was an excellent host! He was proactive, a great communicator, and went above and beyond to be sure we had what we needed. The location is very good - out of the touristy areas but easy access to local restaurants where we could eat an authentic meal for a reasonable price surrounded by locals. The apartment had everything we needed, including a GREAT drying rack, which was fantastic for our load of laundry. Everything was clean and in good working order. Thanks for the great stay!

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

Such an amazing stay at Sebiha’s place! The view of the Bosphorous ( though restricted) is spectacular! the full length glass adds to the charm . The sofa and the bed both very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with all cooking essentials - in fact we cooked our breakfast everyday & enjoyed dining with the amazing view. But the best thing about the apartment is its location - very well positioned. It’s so close to Galata tower, Taksim street, metro station. Just a few steps up, you reach the supermarket & just a few steps down, you reach the bus stop ! Very convenient for travel . Highly recommended place for long time stays also.

Safe and comfortable space in a great location! I loved everything about my stay. The host is extremely responsive and very helpful! I wish I could have stayed all month! Thank you so much for making my time in Istanbul as wonderful as it was!

I had a wonderful stay at this place! The apartment was very clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect—close to public transport, shops, and restaurants. The host was extremely friendly and responsive, always ready to help with any questions. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful stay. Great family owned apartment. Fabulous family ran restaurant on the corner. Lived the location to the bazaar. Had a wonderful time.

Excellent host very helpful and available at all times. The best location in Istanbul, highly recommend.

Great location and communication from host. Would definitely stay again.

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

I was absolutely satisfied with my stay! The accommodation was great – clean, cozy, and just as described. The location was perfect, with everything easily and quickly accessible. The hosts were extremely helpful, very friendly, and always available. I felt welcome from the very first moment. I can fully recommend this place and would gladly come back!

This Airbnb was a fantastic find! It easily ranks in my top three stays. The location was great, and there was plenty of space. The entire place was spotlessly clean, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Honestly, everything was pretty much perfect. We did experience some minor internet issues, but I believe that was beyond the host's control. Despite that, I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Super comfortable quiet clean place. Lots of restaurants and shopping stuff around. Good kitchen amenities. Would definitely come here once again when in Istanbul. Enes is a great host, proactive and fast responses. Thanks for hosting us
