This was the second time for my husband and I to visit Istanbul, and this time we were traveling with our 8-month-old baby. We were searching for an apartment in the Asian area of Istanbul so that we could have everything within walking distance. I'm happy to say that we found the perfect place. The apartment is located in the heart of Kadıköy, just a few minutes away from the beloved Moda street with all its great cafes and restaurants. Although the apartment is small, it was perfect for the three of us, including our baby. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. Our host, Aykut, was extremely helpful, even in the late night when we were looking for an open pharmacy. He gave us many great recommendations for local places to visit and eat. I'm planning to visit Istanbul again in April and I will definitely try to stay at Aykut's apartment again if it is available. 😊
