Staying with Basma in Istanbul for 2 nights was a truly special experience for us. Basma is everything you would want in a host and more. She is warm, welcoming, cheerful, charming and ever so helpful. She even cooked a spectacular meal for us and her friends on our last night! We enjoyed sitting with Basma and chatting for hours about life, travelling, family etc. She is a warm-hearted, positive and unique person. The room and apartment are in a great location, a few steps from public transport and shops/restaurants/banks etc. Everything was clean and well maintained. We have used AirBnB a lot but this was one of those 'special' stays we will always remember. Thank you, Basma, and we hope to catch up with you again sometime in the future!!!! Love, Paulo and Qestra xoxo
