We sure had a pleasant stay in Istanbul! Our apartment, The Pasha House comes with 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and was incredibly spacious decorated in Turkish style and colorful exterior and it's exactly what we expected as shown in the pictures and description.

Selçuk was helpful to assist us even though we arrived separately. He gave a short tour of the surrounding area and recommended a few good places. He checked on us every day. Just trust his recommendations!! Barbaros gave precise directions to the location of Pashas house (from both the tram and taxi) to ensure we can find it easily.

Other amenities such as restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy, a Hammam, and public transportation are nearby so we need not worry about locating them. The area was always busy and vibrant so we did not worry about coming back after dark.

It was also a nice surprise to have Ali and another lady (sorry we didn't get her name) greet us at departure - staying in an Airbnb, we thought we would be left to check out on our own.

Even though we were running about 10 minutes late for our taxi ride to the airport, they ensured that we had a smooth and seamless departure. They made sure that the taxi waited for us and helped us with our luggage, Ali and the lady's presence definitely added a sweet touch to the end of our holiday in a beautiful city! We highly recommend The Pashas House to travellers who are looking for a home away from home experience in Istanbul!
