Wonderful stay in Istanbul, Farouq was on top of communication the day before our stay and was thorough in his explanation on checking in with photos of what to look for. He was quick to respond to everything. The rooms were cozy, bathrooms were really clean and huge; the shower was so big and spacious. The location was my favorite part, we were about a 7 min walk from the ayasofia, blue mosque, topkapi palace, 15 min walk to grand bazaar, and the best part was the restaurants around us were all highly rated - 4.5-5 stars. Highly recommend this place for groups of friends of 4-5 people.
