Ilker is Avery nice person but my advice for a family with 2,3,4.child and a baby stroller have to climb around 80 stairs but I was humbled by his hospitality and how he gave his home to me who was totally a stranger .his fridge was full of food with very clean toilets and a nice balcony with a lots of tomatoes.there is a very nice view from the living area .and though we had some language problem he was willing to help me.Turkish people don't speak much of English if you are far from faith or sultan Ahmet.there it's ok.turkey is exotic for modern life style but you have to be street smart.so fingers cross
