Basma is a real sweetheart. We are use to homestays when we travel and our time with her was very much like one. From the tea and cake when we arrived (and every evening thereafter) to circling the sights and explaining how to navigate the public transit system. We were able to leave our suitcases in her care while we toured the whole western half of Turkey for a week. We returned for our night in Turkey. Her location is excellent for getting there from Ataturk Airport and catching the tram to Sultanahmet and beyond.
