Basma's house is very near to the center, you can go by walk ( just 20 minutes) to the very nevralgic center of the city, or by tram, the tram stops are very close to the house..
from there you can go by walk to the grand bazar, to the sultanahmet square and topkapi palace, in 20/30 minutes...
in the street of her house there are a lot of market and retaurants where you can eat a lot of turkish or sirian food, very raccomended!
Basma is the most kindly and hospitality host that you can immagine, you will feel like home...thank you Basma!.. :)
