if you have any worries about traveling to turkey with your family or yourself, dont think twice. Just do it. I speak no turkish and my family has never been to Turkey. We rented this place for the week for myself, my wife my 1 year old, 3 year old and 6 year old and it was one of the most memorable places we have ever visited (ive been to 32 contries). Deff the nicest people ive ever met, literally a dozen times when we asked people for directions they went out fo the way for help. People loved our kids and everywhere we went people showed affection.
Barbaros and his staff were also amazing, they took care of us like we were in a five star hotel like the Ritz or Park Hayat (which ive stayed in multiple times). The neighborhood is perfect and 15 minute walk from grand bazar, blue mosque, the palace and univerrity. My kids were crying on the last day when we had to say goodbye to the nice lady from the shop down the street who we went to for breakfast every day. When i do visit turkey again I will stay at this location.
