Farouq was very hospitable before and during my stay with my friends. The location is very convenient if one is looking to go around the old city to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, etc. He reached out in advance for arrangements before and during check-in. He was always prompt to respond to any messages or complaints. Once, the Wi-fi was not working for a brief while, but Farouq was very prompt in his response to getting it to work. It was a very pleasant stay and Farouq also let us store our bags until after check out. A small suggestion- the prices for private transfers/ long term bag storage were quite pricey, so maybe reducing prices or trying out a different vendor may be more helpful to guests.
