Renting in Istanbul: questions
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Istanbul?+
Nightly rates start from 4 200 ₽ for a studio or one-bedroom in a good district; a month-long stay starts from 75 000 ₽ with a 30–50% long-stay discount. Peak season — April — June and September — October; a quarter cheaper in winter.
Is it safe to rent by the night in Istanbul through Sales.Travel?+
We list only vetted hosts and licensed managers with a contract, verified photos and instant confirmation. Payment goes through Sales.Travel — by card, account balance or invoice — and the host receives it after your check-in.
What documents do I need to check in?+
A passport for each adult (some countries register guests with the police — the host does it). No cash deposits with hosts: any deposit is fixed in the contract and refunded on check-out.
Can I rent for a month or longer?+
Yes — long stays are the most popular format in Istanbul. From 28 nights the price drops 30–50%, utilities and internet are usually included; ask the concierge for a monthly quote.
What if I prefer a serviced apart-hotel?+
Apart-hotels with reception and daily cleaning are in our hotel search: 3.4M properties at live rates. Open “Apart-hotels in Istanbul” below or ask the concierge to compare.
