Our Istanbul visit, although not our first, was especially amazing this time, due to our stay at Roda & Chiko’s place. The coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream—the Gelata tower area, overall, was wonderful. Very close to the train making it easy to go to other areas, as well.
It felt so cool to come out of the apartment (awesome that it’s on the 1st floor) and feel like a local. The cats in front of the building were so fun to watch and feed. Our 2 young teen children were very comfortable in the apartment and enjoyed their stay. It was also great to have a washing machine; with kids, that is always a plus. We went to the little market and bought a few groceries and setup our own little Turkish breakfast and enjoyed it, in the stylish and comfortable unit.
