Istanbul is without a doubt the most iconic city in Turkey. It’s the birthplace of tulips and one of the very few cities in this world that can lay claim to sitting on two continents!
A trip to Istanbul is incomplete without a visit to one of the oldest and largest covered markets in the world, the Grand Bazaar. Another popular stop is Hagia Sophia, a basilica and a mosque turned museum. The city’s historical buildings like Topkapi Palace and Bosphorus Bridge are other great places to visit.
Planning a trip to this fascinating city and looking for suitable stays? Check out our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Istanbul, Turkey, and book accommodation!
What’s new in Istanbul:
- If you're from the US, Canada, or Mexico, you won't need an e-visa for stays less than 90 days. According to BBC, this will further encourage travels to Istanbul.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on June 27, 2025.
Your options at a glance
1. Spacious studio in the centre of old Istanbul (from USD 61)
Located in the Sultanahmet neighbourhood, this spacious studio apartment places you in the centre of old Istanbul. With sleeping space for up to three guests, this rental offers you a cosy kitchenette to fix quick meals and snacks. You can lounge on the sofa in the living room and watch your favourite shows on the HDTV. Central air conditioning will keep you comfortable in the hot Turkish weather.
The apartment offers some of the best sea views from its windows and also allows easy access to the nearby beach, so I’d suggest carrying your swimsuit. Moreover, there is a dedicated workspace available for remote workers.
2. Loft apartment with pool access (from USD 443)
This centrally located vacation rental in Istanbul boasts a stunning sea view that guests can enjoy from a private balcony with comfortable and plush sofas. The modern loft is minimally decorated and features amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, a dedicated workspace, and up to 92 Mbps Wi-Fi connection. You can lounge around and enjoy a movie or two from the 50-inch HDTV with Netflix and Disney Plus access.
The property is ideal for foodies, in my opinion. It’s situated between Baghdad Street and the seaside, giving you access to many shops and restaurants like Saltator to get a taste of Turkish cuisine.

5. Modern industrial flat with terrace access (from USD 91)
This chic and industrial apartment is a work of art. Hosted by Yusuf, the flat is located in Fatih and has a functioning kitchen should you have a need for it. The private sauna and Turkish bath must be booked upon arrival. I wouldn’t miss experiencing them if I were to stay here!

Consider booking this rental as your stylish getaway in Istanbul!

7. Excellent rental with views of the Blue Mosque (from USD 44)
Residents in this property can have breakfast on the rooftop terrace while looking over the majesty of the Blue Mosque (and its six minarets), one of the famous things in Istanbul. Within the rental itself, you can enjoy satellite TV, a fridge in your room, and a highly comfortable French bed. If you wish to do a bit of grocery shopping to fill that fridge, I think you will be glad to find many stores nearby where you can shop to your heart’s content.
Tip from Content Creator
Take advantage of this rental's proximity to Blue Mosque or Turkish Sultan Ahmet Mosque. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was constructed between 1609 and 1616. Handpainted with more than 50 different tulip designs, its decorations include verses from the Qur’an. Intricate window designs in which natural lights shine through are a few of the many features of this beautiful and historic Mosque.
The beautiful and historic mosque has 5 main domes and 8 secondary domes. It is considered to be the last great Mosque of the Classical Period of Ottoman Architecture.
Visiting mosques is one of the main attractions in Turkey. There are about 3,000 of them! Here are some tips before you visit:
Bring a shawl to cover your head and shoulders. One will be provided on the main entrance door of the mosque, so no need to be alarmed and wonder if you’ll be able to get in or not. And no shoes are allowed, although you can carry them in a plastic bag or like.
It is free to enter the mosque and very much open to the public. Make sure to check the hours, as certain times are closed for Prayer hours.
Photos and videos are allowed. No tripod is allowed, and please be mindful of your surroundings.

Another great feature of the apartment is its balcony with an umbrella table and outdoor seating, where you can chill, lounge, or read a book.
I think the best part is that this accommodation is very affordable, leaving travelers with a more flexible budget for other activities like sightseeing and shopping for souvenirs.

9. Stylish apartment near Taksim Square (from USD 59)
This apartment Airbnb in Istanbul’s Taksim Square is ideal for couples and small travelling parties and is an excellent modernist accommodation that will be hugely popular with all who stay there. You will have the run of the full flat, including a well-stocked kitchen and a bathroom with shower. You’ll have hot water 24 hours a day. The attractions of Istanbul, including the main square, are just a couple of minutes’ walk away, and I think there’s no better way to explore a city than on foot. The bedroom, for its part, features a wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Decorated in a modern European style, this flat has a touch of class.

Indoors, there is a fully equipped kitchen, an HVAC system and all of the modern conveniences you could want including an LCD TV. In short, it’s an ideal apartment in one of the quietest areas of Istanbul. For those travelling solo, I think it’s nice to come home to this quiet rental after you’ve accomplished all the best things to do alone in the city.

I think you’ll love how the open-plan kitchen and living area let you keep the conversation going while cooking or relaxing. There’s also a standard cable TV to keep you entertained, and high-speed WiFi for work or scrolling through your socials.
And with metro and tram stations just a short stroll away, exploring Istanbul’s top attractions couldn’t be easier. After a day of adventures, you can just crawl into the cozy beds and enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

23. Bright room close to everything
This room, a private rental in the owner’s apartment, offers you excellent views of — and proximity — to the best of Istanbul’s sights. From the roof here you can see the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Suleymaniye Mosque and more besides. While space is limited, the views more than make up for it. If you happen to be a cat person like me, the host’s three cats will be very pleased to meet you! At nights, the view from the rooftop terrace includes the lit-up Galati Tower, making for a magical experience.
Tip from tour guide
You can enjoy a stunning view of Suleymaniye Mosque from the roof of this Airbnb. This mosque is one of the most important examples of Classical Ottoman architecture. Although more than a hundred earthquakes have occurred in Istanbul since its construction in 1550, there has not been the slightest crack in the walls of the mosque. It has a rectangular floor plan and is surrounded by a large courtyard, which is enclosed by a colonnade of domed porticoes. The mosque's central dome is the largest and highest in Istanbul, measuring 53 meters in height and 27.5 meters in diameter. It's hard to decide whether the most impressive part is the gate, the dome, or the view.Stayed at this property?

The owner will even go out of his way to ensure you have transport to and from the airport.

26. Room in Sultanahmet boutique hotel
This room is perfect for holidaymakers who wish to be well located for Istanbul’s key tourist destinations — you’re a short walk away from Hagia Sophia, and also close to the Topkapi Palace. This apartment Airbnb in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet neighbourhood is in a building with a touch of history itself, having been a mansion in the old city before it was renovated and turned into a hotel. This room is brightly furnished, modern and spacious, and even has access to a kitchen (which, it is only fair to note, is shared with other residents). With a mini-fridge and an LCD TV, this is a room that you’ll be happy to spend a lazy day or evening in.

27. Travel-themed apartment with stylish decoration
The aptly-named “Voyager House” is perfect for holidaymakers, with one of the things that will immediately stand out being the huge world map on the wall which you are invited to add a “pin” to, to show how far and wide the guests in this apartment have come from. The room that you rent will be private to you, while common areas such as the kitchen and living room may be shared with other guests if they are there at the time. It’s a beautifully decorated spot, with a hostess who is assiduous in ensuring that renters get the best experience possible from their time in Istanbul.

32. Chic studio near Nisantasi
This cleverly designed flat is only one train station away from Taksim Square, making it close enough to Istanbul’s major tourist spots but not too close that you won’t be able to have a peaceful night’s rest. The apartment has plenty of drawers and cabinets that could tuck away all the clutter, even in the kitchen! The double bed moonlights as a couch, transforming the room and freeing up more space. We told you it’s cleverly designed!

33. Comfortable one-bedroom house in Beyoglu
Akarsu Street is perhaps the hippest of its kind in Cihangir. Maybe it’s a happy coincidence that this next item is located there. Staying at this house rental in Istanbul will feel like you have never left home in terms of comfort. Complete with a kitchen, washer, workspace, and many other basic household needs; it’s hard not to feel at ease. The famous Sultanahmet is only a 15-minute train ride from the place, and some of the best spots in Istanbul, like the vibrant Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, are within walking distance!
