This was an amazing place! The apartment looks great, has a lot of space for everyone (I was with my kids and my parents). Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and even dishes and a blender for baby food. Comfortable and elegant living room with a nice view (huge windows, in the evening you can close the shades). Beautifully decorated! Definitely recommend this apartment, it’s one of the best I stayed in.
There is a playground nearby, also it’s possible to take a walk near the sea (8-10 minutes away walking). A lot of cafes and restaurants, a supermarket just 200 meters away. Quiet street, but adjacent to the bigger streets with all the restaurants, pharmacies and so on.
It’s a bit far from the centre, but it’s much better to live in this comfortable area and take taxi/ferry/marmaray (trains). We also lived in the center of Istanbul, and it’s not nice to stay in the touristic area. Definitely recommend Kadikoy, especially if you travel with kids.
