We had a wonderful family reunion at Mesut’s place. We had little kids with us (aged 2 to 5) and were worried about stairs initially but didn’t have any issues with them at all. We just taught them to walk up and down carefully and they were supervised by adults. There is a toilet on each floor including ground and plenty of space for kids to play. Mesut was very helpful and kind. Bathrooms on each floor worked well for our big family. Public transport and stores are a short walking distance although of course Istanbul is hilly and good for the legs. The view from the terrace and the balcony is beautiful. Highly recommended.
