We had a lovely time staying in Basma's apartment. She is very pleasant and helpful with any queries we had. We were there for 9 nights. The area where she lives is very convenient to the Metro station, tram and buses. It was very easy to get to from the airport. We found the use of her travel card was great and made travelling to all our destinations really simple and cheap. We had dinner there on three occasions which were all lovely and friendly. We found getting on with other people staying there very easy and enjoyable. It felt like a home away from home.

The bedroom was quite small and that was fine because we were only using it to sleep in mainly and spent most of the days enjoying Istanbul. We found all the conveniences were very local and Basma made us aware of places to get food and groceries.

Overall we were very happy and glad to have met everyone there in the time we stayed and would recommend it.
