My stay with Basma was very pleasant. Although she was not available to welcome me when I arrived, her son was there on her behalf and I felt welcomed straight away. She gave me lots of tips about where to go, how to get to places and all the information was very accurate and up to date. Her home is cosy and comfortable including the bed which was very comfortable. The team and metro are both only a 2 minute walk and so her home is in an ideal location. Getting there from the airport was also stress free and very easy. I would definitely recommend you visit the markets near Fatih mosque on a Wednesday. Definitely recommend to stay with Basma if travelling alone or with a friend.
