We had a wonderful time staying with Basma. The location is just right, being a very short walk to both the metro and the tram. Basma is a very kind and helpful hostess—brought out a map and showed us where to go and how to get there, served us snacks and tea, and even cooked us a delicious Turkish meal the night before we left. The bedroom is large, clean and light and has two very comfortable beds. If we ever go back to Istanbul, we would definitely stay here again.
