This was my first time travelling with Airbnb and I am really glad that my first host was Basma!) I with my girlfriend came to Istambul early at the morning, Basma provided all the information needed how to get to her place. She met as there we agreed to met and since the first minutes we were charmed by her smile and hospitality. The place fine and situated near the Aksaray metro station: it takes about 20 minutes by walk to the centre of town (the street for walking is main in the town therefore it's interesting to take walk, not tram). Also the airport is about 30 minutes at the same subway line. At home there are always fresh tea and drinks waiting for you =) Basma really helpfull and explained all questions we had about Itambul. Wish we could stay longer. Thanks a lot. Advice to everyone who are going to visit Istambul!
