We had a wonderful one week stay in Istanbul, and we are so glad we chose the Pashas House to stay at. Barbaros and Ali were incredibly welcoming, and they made sure to answer all our questions, and take care of any needs we had. The Pashas House rooms were very clean, well-stocked, and nicely decorated….exactly as shown in the airbnb pictures. The apartment was supplied with soap, shampoo, coffee, tea, and plenty of bottled water. There was plenty of room for the 5 adults in my party. The wireless internet worked great.
The location was perfect….very safe, with a nice fruit market, several bakeries, and a small, but well-stocked grocery across the street. It was a 10 minute walk to all the major sites…Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar. There are a number of nice restaurants to choose from just a few blocks away. We had dinner one night at Barbosa's restaurant, and the food was excellent. The best part however was his company, as he is a wonderful storyteller, and it was so fun to hear about Turkish life, and to enjoy the delicious selection of Turkish foods that he introduced us to. I heartily recommend the Pashas House as a wonderful place to stay when you visit Istanbul.
