Our stay in Moda, Kadekoy was wonderful made even more so by Berkay's apartment. It is the best Airbnb we have stayed in which includes many we have stayed in around the world. Would definitely recommend staying on the Asian side when visiting Istanbul. The apartment is an easy walk (15 mins) to the ferry which takes 20 mins to get you to the European side. Moda is a very progressive area. The food/restaurants and coffee shops are amazing. If you want access to bars and alcohol there are plenty. The apartment is located on a busy street (though very little street noise) from the second floor so you step outside and everything is there for you. Supermarkets, bakeries (one underneath), coffee shops and the market close by too. A train near the ferry can also get you to many places. The apartment itself is extremely spacious and has a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen is very well appointed with lots to cook with but we always ate out. Berkay was available any time if we needed assistance. A wonderful stay and a wonderful apartment that you would be hard pressed to find better. Thank you very much for providing such a nice space to relax in with many lovely touches which we really appreciated.
