Our apartment is on the third floor - three flights of original marble stairs - of a grand and elegant 19th century building near the beautiful Galata Tower. The street is sophisticated, with smart cafes, top Turkish fashion design boutiques and a cool bohemian feel.
The apartment is only 1 minute walk from Sishane metro station, 3 minutes walk to Tünel funicular and a short downhill walk to connect with the tram for Sultanahmet. Famous Istiklal Avenue is around 5 minutes walk up the hill.
The bedrooms are stylish: two doubles and one twin, each with designer velvet headboards and high quality crisp white linens. Two of the bedrooms have fabulous views. The kitchen is large, chic and well-equipped with high-end appliances including dish-washer. The dining area has a lovely ceramic ti...

great place and amazing service
The place is fully renovated and nicely decorated. The kitchen has all appliances, a large fridge, dishwasher, microwave oven, stove and oven. It has a great kitchen to cook in and feel like home.
The location is perfect. Only 2 min from the Galata tower, and 5 min from the metro and bus stations to any location in the city. very convenient to get around and of course only a few minutes from the great Isteklal street and all the shops and cafes.
The host is responsive. Sets up transfer and pick up to and from the airport. Large shuttles are very punctual and reliable.
a great stay. we will certainly book again the next time.

Beautiful, centrally located apartment in the heart of Istanbul.
"The apartment is very clean and located in a very central part of Istanbul. Julia & Tarkan's apartments are managed by a very friendly team, who are very flexible about check-in and check-out times, and are always available in case of questions. When in Istanbul, I would really recommend staying at Julia & Tarkan's apartment! Thank you. "

Fantastic appartment in great location
I stayed here for a week in November with my sister while we visited Istanbul and met with friends and cousins. The appartment is in a great location, with plenty of restuarants, shops and places to visit locally. It is so comfortable and the views are beautiful. We had everything we needed and the property manager helped us with information to make our stay very comfortable. We also sed their pick up service from the airport, which was very convenient. Highly recommended and looking forward to coming back sometime soon.

Great location
The apartment is perfectly situated next to Galata Tower, restaurants and shopping areas and in walking distance to Galata bridge. Istiklal Caddesi, the main street, full of restaurants and shops is 5 minutes away. The apartment is beautifully renovated and furnished with much taste. And there is an absolutely fantastic view out of the living room window across the water to the Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The apartment has all the amenities you need and there are 1 or 2 grocery stores very close by. I highly recommend these accommodations.

Great
It was a great apartment with an amazing view and easy access to a lot of places. My one issue was that it was on the third floor, but if you can get past that, you'll have an amazing view and experience. The apartment is very spacious and could accommodate a lot of people. Julia was very helpful with the situation my mother and I had when we arrived at a different Airbnb with false information. Once we cancelled Julia was extremely helpful in sending her apartment manager to pick us up from the other apartment. A great experience

"Nice apartment in a good location"
We have just returned from Istanbul and stayed at Pasha Place for 3 nights. The flat is very nice and offers all comforts you need when away from home. Staff is very attentive and the flat is clean and well decorated. We can recommend it to anyone spending some time in Istanbul.

Wonderful stay in beautiful, charming apartment in the middle of Galata
Our stay could not have been more perfect! Communication with Julia was a breeze, and the property manager Shamshod was there to greet us when we arrived (quite a bit later than expected) and made us feel warm and welcome. However, it was the apartment itself that truly blew us away. It's even more beautiful than in the photos - wonderfully designed with a mix of modern and vintage elements. It was large, spacious, and had extremely comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Moreover, the location was perfect, right in the middle of Galata (literally next door to the Tower) and within walking distance to everywhere you would like to go. And the view from the balcony was stupendous! I'm almost hesitant to review this place publicly as I want to make sure it stays available to us on our next visit...can't wait to come back! Thanks a million to Julia, Tarkan and Shamshod :)

fantastic apartment
One of my best Airbnb experiences! Julia was so helpful throughout, sorting out airport transfers and answering any queries quickly. We even got a free upgrade to another apartment a few days before we travelled! We received a warm welcome on arrival (even though our group had two different arrival times!) and were shown to a lovely local cafe for lunch. The apartment is beautiful, good value and perfectly located for a long weekend in Istanbul......the view is spectacular! Thank you Julia, Tarkan and co!
