About the owner
Zeki Pasha, a top ranked general in the Ottoman Army, who died before World War I, who was my grand grand father, had left the building to his children. The building was home for our family for a long time. Now, the building is a great opportunity to meet people around the world. We have 5 flats in the building to host you. Me and my wife were admen, in 2007 decided to change our life, and quited our jobs. She had a course for baking and baked brownies, muffins and I delivered them. But then we decided that we should focus on accommodation. Actually there is no time for doing something else. We are helping each other for everything to build our new life. Me and my cousin still renovating the building and around. Thanks God and thanks to near 700 people who has chosen us, we can.
Year purchased: before 1950
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I was born into this neighborhood. It was not an investment, it's our family heritage. In 2004, an investor has come to our street, bought, hired some buildings, made people come together and they all together transformed the street into an entertainment area. Now we have cafes and restaurants around the street. It's colorful and lively now. On weekends hundreds of people visit our street, to have coffee, wine, to make some conversation and to be entertained. There are singers sing romantic songs in the street. Some other programs offers more cheerful songs especially on weekends. From our side, this street gives an exceptional Istanbul experience with us. Now we have TK821, TK1487, TK1488 and TK 1946 in Zeki Pasa Building.
