Everything was perfect from the start. I was met on arrival and provided with a run down on the property and neighbourhood. Additionally I was provided many useful links on What’s App which covered locations for pharmacy, restaurants, alcohol, sites etc. Everything has been thought of by these hosts.
Even when it came to researching a tour at the very last minute Aqo was helpful in the extreme. When I travelled the following day and hadn’t been seen or heard of in 12+ hours, a polite and genuine enquiry was sent through to What’s App to see if all was good. This wasn’t intrusive, just genuine care and ‘having the back’ of a middle aged solo traveller.
The rooms are extremely clean, well appointed and very secure. The bathrooms were within steps and I didn’t once experience a wait.
The location of this property is simply outstanding. On the door step of all the ‘must see’ points of interest in the Sultanahmet area.
The staff are extremely thoughtful, friendly and absolutely perfectly suited for running an establishment of this type. The common area was bright, chilled and welcoming. As a 50yo male and experienced traveller I didn’t feel out of place. I’d stay here again without hesitation and hope too again as Istanbul is the best.
