Basma is a very good host and my friend and I stayed here for a second time.
This house is located closed to metro station and bus station. And the metro could go directly to Ataturk Airport and coach station. Very convenient.
Basma is very warm-hearted. She invited us to join her meal. And if you wish, you could cook with her. It is a good way to experience the real Turkish life here.
She can speak very fluent English. Compared with dealing with other people who could only communicate via gestures, it is a real blessing to have such a helpful host.
If we could have a third or even fourth time to be in Istanbul, we will still live here.
