We are settling into Baku. We have an apartment, marked by the orange X. We like the place and we really like the location. We are one block from the Caspian sea and the nice boardwalk from where we can see all of Baku’s modern architecture. We are one block from the Old City (Icherisheher) and winding paths through historic buildings. We are in the center and close to all the cafe’s and shops.

We do live in a bit of a bubble, I don’t know if its the real Baku or Azerbaijan. I doubt it is very representative. But, its nice to be so near to the main sites and in such a nice area. Many interesting sites are not showing up on the map.
