Waterfront holiday rentals in Bosphorus

We had a fabulous time at Gulsen's place! The views of the Bosphorus and Istanbul skyline are incredible both on the rooftop and from the rooms. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop, watched beautiful sunsets as the call to prayer emenated across the city. It was magical. The Galata area is fabulous in itself and easy to reach other neighbourhoods - Sultanahmet, Eminonou, Kakikoy, Taksim. Our group had a wonderful stay and highly recommended Gulsen's place! The host was very responsive too which made arrangements and getting information very easy.

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

What an experience it was! Truly surreal views and one of the most comfortable stays I’ve had. The house has got everything you’ll need during the stay. Mete is the most kindest host I’ve met. You made me feel like home. He has been very responsive and available anytime. Thank you, Mete for taking me around and showing me the neighbourhood. Felt very safe and comfortable being a solo traveler. Appreciate your time and efforts to make the trip so memorable.

The apartment is very nice The sea view is stunning and beautiful from pictures Cleanness as a 5-star hotel Everything is perfect for a luxurious setting and there is a nearby grocery and a walking bridge that connects to the beach

Very nice view, I recommend

Stunning view, clean apartment, excellent host!

Laura and her husband are great hosts. They took care of us from the time we landed at Istanbul till the time we got to the airport to fly home. The flat was like what is described. And the views out of the windows were great. When you stick out your head & look to right and you see Galata Tower. Look to the left and you see the Golden Horn. Look straight and you can see the sunset. Lots to do, shop and eat around their flat. Highly recommended.

Everything was great. The host, Mr. Mesut, was always available and helpful. She made all the directions very well before entering the house. She communicated everything we could ask and she thought we would need without us asking. It was very relevant. Thanks for everything

Great location and surroundings! Great place to stay!

This is by far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at in this neighborhood—and we’ve tried five others before! Our host, Zafer, was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and always responsive. The apartment has absolutely breathtaking views—our visiting friends were speechless when they saw them! The location is perfect: just a 5–8 minute walk to the Bosphorus, where you can enjoy fishing, running, walking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the water. There are fantastic breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots nearby, and a grocery store just 30 seconds away (they even deliver!). Our kids loved the place, and we felt right at home. We had an unforgettable time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location in the heart of Balat. Ceyda was a very kind and attentive host. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

great place and a great shared terrace. we enjoyed our stay and we loved the surroundings. highly recommended

Check-in was easy as we found the host waiting for us with his nice mother, the house was also wonderful with a beautiful view, it just lacked air conditioning, we felt hot during the sunny day, otherwise everything was beautiful, thank you very much

The house was a very nice house in a very nice area. Families with small children need to be careful because there are so many accessories in the house and the kids are very curious. Also, if you have a phobia about insects, you may have a little trouble. The beds were very comfortable, with extra towels provided.

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 :)

Amazing spot, thank you so much for hosting us. The house is absolutely beautiful and we would love to revisit in the future!

A comfortable and clean place with everything you need and a wonderful view

during checkin..its seem like dull neighbourhood..but day after tours around istanbul. now i realised this apartment is actually peaceful neighbourhood and really great place to stay after tired. Btw, the highlight of this apartment is: -2min walk to tram yusufpasa -1min walk to bustop -1min walk to various atm -some restaurants downstairs -5min walk to convenience store the house itself - spacious - bright vibe - tiptop clean - well maintained - enough silverware to cook yourself - feel like own home the host - super responsive - no problem with english - warm welcoming by his father even though not really into english speaking but we got his point. if i need to describe in 2 words about this apartment is " convenience location"

I met Brother Bender He was very punctual and very helpful. He was very helpful and helped us choose the right sites for tourism Also guide us to the car rental location

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.

Niche is an amazing host Very helpful from the beginning untill we check out The apartment is tastefully decorated and big enough for our group of 5 people 1 has slept on the sofa in the living room which was very comfortable The beds were high end quality and very comfortable to sleep Even though the apartment is located right next to Galata tower the neighborhood was very quite a hidden gem Surrounded by Many restaurants shops and walking distance to everywhere we wanted to discover Tram metro even ferries just few minutes away by walk We really enjoyed our stay at Niche’s place and definatelly book this place again

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.

Amazing place with great view everything is as listed and the host is amazing really responsive and great. Would recommend

Just the view from the hall is enough. Found the place kept to standard and tastefully appointed.
