Apartment vacation rentals in Şile

I felt so lucky to find this gem of a place in the heart of Galata. Please know you are in a busy spot but I loved it. The place is inviting and is the perfect homebase to explore Istanbul. The host was very responsive and I felt went above and beyond with one of my requests. The second I’m back in this city this listing will for sure be my number one choice to stay in again. A couple times a day I’d look out the window and smile. Thanks again!!

Reyhan's accommodation fully participated in making our city tour perfect! Ideally located in old Istanbul, we were able to easily go back and forth between the places to visit and it, enjoy the surrounding restaurants (from the very good breakfast just at the foot of the accommodation to the aperitif in the vegetated courtyard of the Mansions a little further), as well as consider the majority of our trips on foot (to Taksim Square via the Galata bridge). Cozy, bright, very clean, well-equipped and spacious, it allowed us to rest when we needed it. And the cherry on top, the terrace offers one of the best views, with, at an equal distance, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. To be contemplated without moderation from sunrise to sunset without having to share this point of view with a crowd. In short, an address that we will recommend and certainly share with our loved ones in the months ahead!

Host was sooooo lovely ! Property was bigger than we were expecting which was great bonus. Perfect location. Beautiful streets We had a plumbing issue which was rectified within the hour of advising the host. They are very quick to respond to any queries we had. I could not recommend rate this accommodation and the host any higher.

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 had an amazing stay in Istanbul! The apartment is beautiful, well-equipped, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal — very close to the Suleymaniye Mosque and within walking distance to the tram, which can take you anywhere. Serhad was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

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

This apartment is so clean, bright and comfortable. Gizem is kind and helpful and let us know of things happening in the city. We recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Istanbul.

We stayed in the apartment as a family, and we loved everything: great location, lots of attractions nearby, public transport, and lots of nice local places ☺️ Very responsive and kind hosts who responded very quickly to all my messages and of course advised the best places for our family. We will definitely come back again 💛 Thanks for you hospitality

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!

Great stay - flat is right on the heart of Istanbul and was exactly as described. View was stunning and definitely the highlight. Apartment was very well equipped and host was extremely responsive.

All communication was fast and clear, the place was lovely and clean, and we had a great stay.

Absolutely loved this place. It is on the 5th floor with no elevator, so if you are not for climbing stairs, this isn't your place. The staff did tote the luggage up and down. I personally wanted the exercise, and the view was worth it. I don't know that Istanbul offers a better view. Beware of the Galataport drop off. A LOT of stairs to get home even though it says .2-.3 mile walk. Every bit is stairs from the water. I would stay here again if visiting Istanbul

I had such a wonderful experience staying here! From the moment I arrived, the hosts made me feel completely at home. They were incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, truly some of the kindest people I’ve met. I really appreciated how understanding and thoughtful they were throughout my stay. The place itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had such a cozy and peaceful vibe. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into making the space feel special. Everything was just perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you for going above and beyond, you made my trip so much more enjoyable. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly lovely Airbnb experience!

It was a good apartment with a magnificent view! The stairs up and down to the tram were a challenge. A very good workout! It is not suitable if you have difficulty climbing stairs. We will definitely recommend this place. Communication with Liker was great! He responded immediately and helped us very well.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful apartment! The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to the iconic Galata Tower, surrounded by charming shops and cozy cafes, with plenty of eateries within 5–10 minutes’ walk. There’s even a lovely café right across the street. The apartment itself felt like a piece of art. Every detail was thoughtfully curated with vintage charm, from the wooden floors to the wooden window panels and the stunning 16th-century-style ceiling. It was warm, unique, and full of character, like stepping into a living gallery. It’s also just a 45-minute drive from IST airport and within walking distance to the Metro and the Galata rooftops, which are perfect for a photoshoot. The building has an elevator that opens directly into the unit, which made things super convenient. The apartment was well-equipped with all the essentials and had large windows that filled the space with natural light. Huge shoutout to Alatin who is the heartbeat of this place.

Thank you for the accommodation. Great as always.

Great experience; clean and spacious place. Very well located; elevator is on second floor and small.

Great location , waking distance to many attractions

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’ve been in many airbnbs and I have to say that Tao is one of the best for sure. His place is in a top notch location inside of Istanbul and his recommendations made our trip so much better.

Beautiful apartment, well situated. Very responsive hosts.

This is an amazing place, located very near Taksim Square with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is beautiful. It has big rooms and fully renovated bathrooms. There is also a big terrace and a well equipped kitchen. The host is very friendly and responsive. The instructions to check in are clear. I couldn’t find anything negative. Highly recommended.

It was easy to find. Thanks to the direct location. Overall, it was a good experience. It's in a good place in the neighborhood. It was on the ground floor but the air conditioning was good, the bathroom was simple and clean, and the refrigerator was cooling very well. The seats were comfortable. I had no problems with privacy, which was one of the important points for me. I'm satisfied. Thanks again.
