basma is a warm, welcoming and genuinely caring host. Upon entering the house I was warmly greeted by a group dinner and had an amazing first night out in Istanbul. The room is clean and comfortable with a spacious bed. The house itself is not so spacious so you won't be in areas much other than your room, and like everywhere else in Istanbul its best to purchase your own water supply (tap water is not so drinkable) . As a host Basma genuinely looks out for your well-being and does everything she can to help you on your stay. Map was a bit disorienting, maybe its just me but I ended up using Google maps
