About this apartment rental
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 tiled floor and leads to the airy hall. The living room is stylish and comfortable with two feather-filled sofas and a bar table area leading to bay windows with fabulous panoramic views across the Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The spacious hall has a smart shower room at one end and a separate loo at the other. Original wooden floorboards give a warm feel and all doors and windows are also elegant originals, adding grace.
This apartment is 130 m2 in total, serene and restful. It's flooded with sunlight through its large sash windows and has very high ceilings throughout. The bedrooms comfortably accommodate six people.

Great location, great place and hosts always responsive. Would recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul to be in a great location

We had a love week-long stay at Pasha Place. Super helpful and attentive staff, great location, top-notch view of Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The neighborhood is an epi-center of tourism and it can be a bit difficult to escape the crowds, but the trade-off of being close to mass transit and the apt views more than compensated. Highly recommended!

The location was perfect! Although there are three flights of stairs the view when you arrive at the apparent is worth it! Absolutely stunning! For such a busy area the apartment is very quiet and supplied with all the amenities you need. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Comfortable and spacious place on a nice area of town. Nice view and close enough to prime attractions. Plenty of shops and restaurants around.

This place is wonderful! It’s central to everything yet still feels like a private get away…and the views are amazing to sit and have a glass of wine looking at! The host goes above and beyond what is expected with regard to providing heaps of hints and tips of the surrounding area and what to avoid with local taxis, and helping with transfers from the airport and back - amazing! We were also supported with a bit later checkout as there was no one else staying directly after us. We recommend eating at Cuma, a boutique Michele’s guide restaurant in the art district space, about 15mins walk…to die for! In my opinion Istanbul is not the place to go if you suffer mobility issues, there are lots of hills and steps, with the old building etc, but we loved it, it is a truely magnificent place and these apartments added to our wonderful experience! We would definitely stay here again. Ps; please feed the cats on the roof across from the apartment, we rolled up packet ham and threw them!

The location is perfect - it’s as central as you could hope to get. The apartment is well maintained and quiet. Great view from the drawing room and the bedrooms. The host was super responsive. If you want to be in the Centre of the city and a stone’s throw away from the heart of things, this place is ideal. The only downside is you have to walk up three floors. Highly recommend this place!

Easy communication. Quick check in. Clean apartment, comfortable beds. There is everything you will need. Responsive host. Great location. Everything's super!
10.0
The apartment exceeded all expectations. The place looked even better in real life than in the pictures, the views from the apartment are breathtaking. The location couldn’t have been better: you are both in the middle of the city while being on a quiet street. The ceilings, the furniture, the floors — such a beautiful place, wow!! We also really appreciated the little details like the high-end linens and the fully stocked kitchen with the laundry detergent / dishwasher tablets / coffee / tea. A 10/10 experience, thank you!!

Wonderfully done up apartment right by Galata Tower. Just as described and we loved all 6 nights that we stayed there. Very comfortable bedrooms and living area, wish we would have stayed longer. The host was responsive and coordination was perfect. They provided clear instructions for check in and was even present to make sure we settled in well. As a value added service, they also helped to arrange for airport transfers, making it a seamless process from arrival to departure. We loved all the restaurant recommendations provided as well. Would definitely stay again in the future.
10.0
Fantastic spot near the Galata Tower. The 60 steps to the apartment will get your heart rate up but the view from the living room over the city is worth it. One of the company’s employees waited for us at the apartment for the check-in and showed us all the important features of the place. We didn’t cook but the kitchen looks equipped well enough. I asked for restaurants recommendations and they sent me a list with some places we tried out and they were all awesome.

A great apartment in a very nice side street of the bustling Galata Tower. The view is fantastic and the beds wonderfully cozy. We were happy to come back to the apartment every time after a long day out of town. For those traveling by car/van, there is a cheap parking space nearby that the hosts have recommended to us. Thanks for the great stay!

A fabulous apartment in a great position. Great views and perfect for our family. Exactly as pictured. Very responsive hosts. We would stay again.
10.0
We are a family with three girls. The Location is so great; Galata tower is the first thing you see when you open the door. The view from the windows both at day and night time is beautiful. The Metro station and the famous Istiklal street is very near. We loved the walk to Istiklal Street through poetry street. The 60 step stair uses as cardio exercise; get reminded that there is no elevator. We were treated like a family and we felt really like home. The manager was just a call away. He welcomed us with a beautiful smile. We enjoyed the apartment a lot.
10.0
Great location in the heart of Galata Tower area. Very easy to navigate and was always easy to get home. A mix of tourists and locals in the area so we always felt safe. They also recommended some great places in the neighborhood which we appreciated. Wear comfy walking shoes as much of the area is hilly and cobblestone. The apartment is on a steep 3rd floor walk up so you get a very good view of your surroundings from the windows. And let me tell you, that view…remarkable! Would recommend this place in the future.
10.0
Great place to stay with tremendous views of Istanbul and walking distance to best places to eat and hangout. 10 on 10 for everything. The only slight negative was lack of elevator for a 3rd floor but ended helping with the cardio.

Review Body
We loved the apartment and I would stay there again. It is a nice mix of the old house-feeling (tall ceilings and some of the details like door-stoppers etc) and the clean aesthetic, the view is gorgeous and the manager of the property very responsive and helpful. My husband thanked me several times for insisting we stay there even when initially he thought it's too expensive and we should choose something further away from the center lol.
10.0
Julia and Tarkan's team are very professional, excellent communication. The home is next to Galata Tower. Excellent view from living room and bedrooms. There are plenty shops and restaurants at the door step.
10.0
We loved our stay. Fantastic location within easy walking distance of great restaurants, the tram, and even the Galata Bridge if you wish to explore the city by foot. What a view from the apartment, too - we enjoyed many beautiful sunsets. It was convenient to arrange a taxi from the airport with the host’s help and have the host meet us for check-in. Everything was clean and comfortable.
10.0
Great location! Julia and Tarkan were proactive, accommodating with early check in. Excellent recommendations and good advice regarding taxis etc. The apartment was neat, spacious and well equipped! Beautiful views! Would definitely use them again!
10.0
First time in Istanbul and certainly won't be the last one, neither me staying here. What a great place and location. We went with my parents, wife and my 3 years old son. Even though is located 20mtr away from Galatan tower, which is one of the main tourist attractions in the city, there is also a lot of local vibe in the surroundings. There is a park close by the tram station which is very convenient for a toddler, the tower place is really nice and lots of kids go out there to play. Please go to TOMTOM falafe, best local town in town and of course you must try the breakfast at Privado!! Great host!

A une petite dizaine de mn à pied de la station de Tram Tophane ou du funiculaire. En 15mn ensuite du centre historique. Nombreux commerces alentours. Vie active autour. Logement propre et calme. Avons utilisé les services de taxi proposés (top). Accueil charmant de Şule. Tout était parfait. Je recommande

Beautiful apartment in a great lively location bustling with locals and tourists alike. Close to istiklal, some great restaurants, and minutes away from tram and metro stations. This was a superb home base for our stay in Istanbul!

The views were amazing and the beds great. The only issue we had was with the hot water which needed to be reset a couple of times. Definitely didn’t affect our stay.

This apartment is in an excellent location in beyoglu! Super close to many restaurants, shops and the Galata tower. The windows in the lounge room have a lovely view of the Bosphorus straight and many key buildings in Istanbul. Inside the apartment is quiet despite being in a busy touristy area. You can not get a better location! The host is very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this apartment.

The apt is centrally located 5 minutes away from Galata Tower, near public transit. Through the windows you can see the Bosporus and Topkapi palace. The ceilings must be around 12 feet high. It exudes a relaxing charm.
