Wonderful spacious apartment with beautiful views in a very convenient location. Tuna met us the first day to check us in and orient us to the apartment, and was available via text for anything we needed throughout our stay. The bedrooms have air conditioning, which was very helpful at night to be able to close the windows (the windows effectively blocked any street noise - though we enjoyed watching and hearing the crowds leaving a football game one night as it is very close to the stadium!). Location is within a short walk to Kabatas tram station and bus stops as well as several good cafes and restaurants.
The apartment has incredible panoramic views of the Bosphorus. The kitchen is adequately equipped for basic cooking, but not much more (although I can’t imagine visiting Istanbul and not dining out as often as possible). There is no elevator. We were warned. I’m 73, and carrying three large suitcases (Istanbul was the last leg of a 23-day trip) up four flights of stairs was a workout! And, If the prospect of carrying suitcases up four flights of stairs seems too daunting, remember there are three bedrooms…invite some young, fit relatives to accompany you. If the views were not enough, the apartment is located in a perfect location for getting around Istanbul. The T1 tram (a short ride to Topkapi, Sultanahmet, etc.) is a little over 100 yards away, as is the funicular that you can take to Taksim and other metro connections). The Karakoy ferry dock is almost as close. The bedrooms were bright and clean, the beds were comfortable. Closing the windows took care of most of the traffic noise. The combined washer/dryer was a challenge. Even with the help of ChatGPT, we never got the dry function to work. Fortunately there was a handy clothes drying rack. The women in our party suggested that the bathrooms smelled strongly of mildew, but there was ample hot water. There are two fine little grocery stores about a block away, run by two very pleasant brothers. We found everything we needed for our stay. All in all, we were very pleased with this VRBO

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The location was excellent in a nice area close to the tram and the Kalata ferry terminal. Some nice restaurants near by. The space worked out well for our group of 6 (3 couples) and the apartment had a nice view of the Bosphorus. The apartment could use a refresh with the paint, countertop, and other condition issues. Didn't really impact our stay, but it is looking worn. Could have been a little cleaner with some cobwebs in the bathroom and some other minor issues. The listing is clear that there are a numerous steps and no elevator, and we were prepared for this so again didn't impact us. But not a choice for anyone who would struggle with multiple flights of steps. Property worked out well for our stay.
Great location, near the stadium, public transport, and a great view of the Bosporus. The property manager was very helpful in helping us arrange things.
This apartment was a great home base for exploring Istanbul. The panoramic view from the apartment made walking up the four flights of stairs worthwhile. We all loved watching the boat parade.
We stayed in this place with kids, It is a lovely place, clean, and fully equipped with a tea & coffee maker and a washer/dryer. The location is just perfect, amazing view overlooking Dolmabahçe Palace and the Bosphorus. Easy access to public transport. Would definitely save this vrbo for our next visit to Istanbul
This is the third time we have stayed in this apartment - it is one of our favourites in the world. We love the main room and the view over the Bosporus, but every room is big, clean, bright and nice. The hosts are spectacular - our flight was badly delayed, and they were happy to check us in at an unreasonable hour, even on a Sunday night. We look forward to renting again next year already.
I would give the property 5 stars. But i am giving it only 4 stars, because of unsatisfactory Internet connection. The Interned usually worked for a few minutes and then the service dropped out and was unavailable for hours.
We loved our time in this beautiful, ancient city. And our experience was enhanced by this lovely property. Walking distance to the ferry terminal, the tram line and Galata made this charming aparythe ideal location for our visit. Emir was wonderful to work with and the property manager, Tuna was amazing. She made restaurant recommendations, coordinated airport transportation and was available by WhatsApp if we had any questions. The apartment is a clean, sun filled space with views of the Bosphorous. The pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. Well appointed kitchen, washing machine for a quick mid adventure freshen up of clothing, internet and the view!!! We hope to come back and will absolutely stay here again.
We stayed 10 days over Christmas holidays and we found the apartment and the location very good. You’re right at the end/start of the tram line to take you into the old city. You will definitely get your steps in when visiting Istanbul. We were able to cook and do some laundry but let’s face it, why cook when you can eat so we’ll for so little money? The apartment was very clean, the beds are definitely more firm than we are used to, but everything worked well. Lots of storage etc. When we did have an issue with the bathroom/hot water, Tuna was there with a solution immediately. We would recommend this property to anyone ( as long as you don’t mind stairs as it’s on the fourth floor)!!
Building is short walk to T1 tram that goes through the old city and F1 funicular that goes up to Taksim square.
The unit is exactly as described with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. The mosque across the street sings calls to prayer to give a great feeling of place. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and dishes but only coffee, tea and oil for meal preparation. We did not cook. Street traffic is heavy and constant but the excellent windows lower the sound immensely. The garden is not very maintained but we never had time to consider relaxing there.
In the neighborhood are only a few restaurants within immediate walking distance. Markets nearby supply the basics including fresh fruit.
All in all a great, reasonably quiet space for our one week stay.
While the property benefits from an excellent location and beautiful views, unfortunately, the level of cleanliness fell far below our expectations. Upon arrival, we removed our shoes at the door as we were traveling with young children and preferred to keep the apartment shoe-free. However, the floors were noticeably dirty — they had clearly not been mopped or even swept, with visible debris throughout. Additionally, the bed linens appeared unwashed, with visible stains and an unpleasant odor. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and in this case, it was severely lacking.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 June 2026
Thank you for the feedback — we're glad the location and views stood out. We're sorry the apartment didn't meet our cleaning standard: we do a professional clean before every entry and check each piece individually, including the floors and the linen, so what you describe isn't the standard we run to. We'd welcome the chance to host your family to a better stay.
We've stayed in about 30 different VRBOs over the years, in multiple cities, and this was the nicest. The view from almost every room is better than any hotel in Istanbul, and you have to see it to believe it. It looks good in the pictures, but even nicer in person. The layout and furnishing and kitchen/bathrooms are all clean, modern, and attractive. Rooms were all warm enough in winter, which is lovely.
The location is excellent: close to the tram, the funicular up the hill to Taksim, and many shops for food and wine. Good coffee nearby at Just Coffee and Michelin ranked Topaz is up the hill and 5 minutes walk.
The only thing that might dissuade some is that it is on the fourth floor, and no elevator. Not a big deal in my view: you will do far more climbing up and down the steep streets!
The hosts were lovely: both Tuna and her husband were welcoming, communicative and responsive. Nothing to do with the apartment, but at one point the water service was interrupted, and they responded right away and kept us informed of what the city was up to.
If available, we'd never stay in anywhere else in Istanbul again! Although good for a family, it was also perfect for a couple and very romantic.
