TL;DR
For travelers with luggage or limited mobility, the route from the bus stop is likely easier: the uphill section is short and gentle, then the walk is flat. The descent from Beyazıt is longer and goes through busier streets with limited pavement space and traffic.
From the bus stop, there is only a short, gentle uphill stretch; after that section, the route continues on level ground without further climbs. This is the more practical option for someone carrying luggage or with limited mobility.
Walking downhill from the Beyazıt stop can be more difficult than it looks, especially with suitcases: the descent is longer and the streets below are very busy.
On the lower streets from Beyazıt, pavements can be limited, with cars, scooters, and loading activity nearby. It is less comfortable for a relaxed walk with an older companion.
