Frequently asked questions — Istanbul
Real questions from APEX clients in Istanbul: matching, booking, hotels, travel, dress code.
How quickly can a model be matched for tonight?
On average 30 to 90 minutes. At peak (Thursday-Saturday from 20:00) — closer to 90. On a weekday afternoon — 20 to 30 minutes. A complex scenario with a specific language, dress code for a venue, particular conditions — add 20-30 minutes to the usual time.
Can I book for Friday evening with two hours' notice?
Yes, it's one of our common scenarios. But the choice in that moment is no longer the full roster — the most-requested models are already booked. If you have specific preferences, write with some lead time. A week ahead, the choice is wider and the result more precise.
Which hotels does the model enter without questions?
Four Seasons Sultanahmet and Four Seasons Bosphorus, Çırağan Palace Kempinski, The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul, Raffles Istanbul — at these hotels staff work with an international audience, and a client's guest is normal. If you're at a different hotel — ask the manager, he knows the specifics of the particular address.
Do you work after midnight?
Yes, 24/7. In Istanbul, midnight is mid-evening, especially on Friday and Saturday. The manager replies, models travel. Morning meetings (before 10:00) — rare but possible.
How is a meeting on the Asian side organised?
Kadıköy, Moda, Üsküdar — we work there. You have to factor in the crossing: ferry or bridge, depending on the time and traffic. The manager arranges the transfer with the logistics in mind. For a first request to the Asian side — write 2-3 hours ahead, not at the last minute.
Travel beyond Istanbul — possible?
Princes' Islands, Büyükada — yes. Bosphorus yacht charter from Bebek — yes. Trips to another city or country — agreed separately, minimum 2-3 days ahead; a current passport and, if a visa is needed, time for the paperwork.
Can I request a particular model again?
Yes, it's standard practice. If she has the slot free — we book her. Returning clients often work with one or two models — that's normal. If she's busy — we'll suggest a comparable alternative.
What languages do the models speak?
English — most of our Istanbul base. Russian — part of the base, especially models with a post-Soviet background. Turkish — present, but not universal. French, Arabic — selectively. Specify when you ask.
What payment methods are available?
Cash in dollars — everywhere. USDT TRC-20 / ERC-20 — by agreement. Bank transfer — through the manager. For returning clients — post-payment, deposit arrangements.
Is a deposit required for the first meeting?
Standard — 30-50% deposit a day before the meeting, balance on meeting. Exact terms set by the manager. For returning clients a deposit usually isn't required.
What if the model doesn't match expectations?
Discussed immediately, not after. If on meeting there's a discrepancy with what was agreed — write to the manager that same hour. Causes vary: incomplete brief at the agreement stage, something changed. Depending on the situation — refund of part of the fee, or replacement. Cases like this run under 2%.
Can we meet at my flat or on a yacht?
Yes. For a first meeting with a new client we usually suggest one of our proven options. For returning ones — your address is agreed without further discussion. The address isn't kept on file, it's passed only to the specific model, and after the meeting it's wiped from working chats within 72 hours.
Do you have media-tier models?
Yes, a separate category. 2 hours from $3,000, 4 hours from $4,500, the rest by agreement. This pool opens to returning clients after several successful meetings in the standard segment. New clients on first contact — no.
How are models vetted?
Three stages: photo verification (genuine, current), in-person meeting with a manager, trial format. We take fewer than one in twenty. We check education, languages, ability to hold a conversation, manners, scenario experience. It isn't a marketing line — it's a real number.
How is confidentiality handled?
Only end-to-end encrypted messengers. Addresses, meeting details, coordination correspondence — wiped from working chats within 72 hours of the meeting. Client data is held only with the manager, access restricted. Not shared with third parties. Deletion on request — within 24 hours.
Can I call by voice?
Only messengers — Telegram, WhatsApp. It's deliberate: all details should be in writing for accuracy, and end-to-end encryption is more reliable than an ordinary call. In practice the messenger answers faster than a phone call.
How do I cancel or reschedule a meeting?
Free of charge — 12 hours ahead or earlier. Later — a compensation share, usually 30%, if the model is already on her way. Cancellation an hour before the meeting — payment of half the slot. Rescheduling with the same model — no penalty if she's free.
Do you work with couples?
Yes, there's a separate category of models for that format. The agreement is slightly longer — the details of expectations and roles matter. The Istanbul specifics here don't differ from our other cities.
"Weekend in Istanbul" scenario — how is it organised?
From 24 hours to 7 days. The model accompanies you: breakfast, a walk through Beyoğlu or a ferry to the Asian side, dinner on the Bosphorus, evening by agreement. All travel, accommodation and meals — on the client; the model's fee separate, agreed before the start. Planned minimum 2-3 days ahead.
What's not part of your format?
Meetings under 2 hours. Mass events without a specific personal client. Sharing model photos with third parties. Scenarios with risk to safety. Haggling after the meeting. We talk all of this through at the agreement stage.
