The Pashas House was a wonderful place from a number or perspectives. There are two apartments in the same building that Barbaros has on airbnb. They are nearly identical and both completely new and nicely appointed. The shower was fantastic, there was a Turkish coffee machine and a drip machine, nice flat screen tv and AC in both bedrooms. The building is across from a park where people bring their kids to play and it is 2-3 blocks from an outdoor restaurant Mecca that you should check out. Barbaros also owns a restaurant there so you can ask him.

The building with the apartments is located in the thick of things in Sultahnmet. You feel like you are in a real Sultahnmet neighborhood -- guys playing cards on the corner, kids everywhere, grittiness and fabulousness everywhere you look. I loved it.

Aside from the excellent apartments themselves, Barbaros is big reason to go for this place. He is a jovial helpful guy that will make sure you are taken care of. The guy is all positive energy.

I obviously had a very positive experience and recommend the place highly.
