I stayed in Ferda’s apartment for two months with my 2 year old daughter, and I can easily say that this is the perfect place especially for families with kids. Even my daughter immediately felt home the moment we entered the apartment after a 14 hour flight.
The apartment is exactly as described and shown in the photos (even nicer) and has everything that you might need for a long term stay, and for kids such as countless toys, books, high chair etc.
The neighborhood is perfect with so many coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and there is even a coffee shop+children’s bookshop+play area called Story Garden where you can take your kid and spend the day. It’s such a kid friendly neighborhood with such friendly neighbors. Bağdat Caddesi is 10 minute walk away, Goztepe Park which is the most beautiful park in the area is 15 minute walk.
Muharrem Bey and his wife Sevim Hanım who are taking care of the building are great people and you can ask Muharrem Bey to get you anything you need, and he picks up the trash every evening. They are happy to help with anything.
I would definitely like to stay at Ferda’s apartment again, I’ve had such fond memories there with my daughter in two months’ time.
