My husband and I loved our visit to Pasha's Inn. Barbaros and his assistants couldn't have been friendlier or more informative. In addition to the apartment being delightful and very comfortable with all new appliances and furnishings, it was surprisingly quiet for such a wonderful, lively location. It is on a pedestrian street full of the great fish restaurants the Kumkapi neighborhood is known for - including one owned by Barbaros. He introduced us to many of the other local shopkeepers and made us truly feel like locals. Entry is through a small, casual restaurant, up stairs to the lavish, "contemporary sultan" decor of the apt. We loved it - and the fact that the tram and the Sultanahmet monuments are easy and interesting walking distance from the apartment. Pasha's Inn would not be a great choice for anyone who can't handle steps or walking up steep hills - but for everyone else it's a wonderful opportunity to feel part of a charming, working neighborhood.
