We had a lovely stay with Basma, she is a really sweet woman and a fantastic host. Her home is very clean and comfortable and she welcomed us with tea and cake! Basma was a really interesting person to speak to and she recommended good places to eat and things to do in Istanbul. Her flat has great links to the city centre - the tram leaves just outside her flat every few minutes, and takes only 10-15 minutes to get into the centre. I will definitely stay with Basma again next time I'm in Istanbul! Thanks Basma! xxx
