Pasha Inn, the hospitality of Mr Barbaros, and the ambiance of Kumkopi will always hold a special place in my heart.
The location of the apartment is at the edges of the main street where the tourist attractions are, but it gives you a good opportunity to interact with the locals, avoid the rush of people selling you things at a heightened price, and enjoy various local delicacies.

The apartment itself is lavishly designed to make you feel like you are at home. Other than the absence of a place to cook (who needs that when you various restaurants are within a less-than-a-minute walking distance anyway?), the apartment itself is complete--Internet, smart TV, Turkish coffee maker, comfortable bed and sofa, and a clean bathroom.

But what makes Istanbul unforgettable for my family and I are the hospitality of the staff at Pasha Inn. Barbaros ,the owner,is friendly and helpful. He would go out if his way to make your stay the best Istanbul has to offer ranging from walking you to a location you cannot find to the small gesture of making you tea every time you sit at the lobby to talk to him. He is a man of many stories, and we consider him our friend now.
