Ferda’s place was a great home away from home for our family of four. We would stay here again if need and opportunity arose. The place is furnished with amenities for children, which is exactly what we needed. The pull down shades made it especially helpful as our kids sleep better in a dark room. The doorkeeper was very attentive and available to help, as there were a couple amenities that needed correction when we arrived. We expect this is simply because we were the first guests after a long period of inactivity due to COVID-19. The neighbors downstairs do not seem to be accustomed to the noises of children, although we may have been more loud than normal guests since we were visiting from a second-floor, carpeted flat. Murat’s Kebab down the street became our favorite place to eat and the convenient location of the Carrefour on the corner meant we never had to go far for something we needed. The neighborhood is great, and you’re only a 10 minute walk (give or take) to Bağdat Ave. or the Erenköy Marmaray station. There are also great parks for children about that same distance away. Our kids especially loved Ortaköy Park with all of its various playground equipment. All in all we loved our stay! We spent six weeks in Ferda’s place and are glad we did.
