I spent 10 night at bassma S house and it wasn't as expected.. Not the typical Turkish house.
Good things:
# well located next to the metro (aksaray) and bus stop (haseki) and tram (Yusufbaça)
# easy to find the house from the adress bassma is giving
# next to the mall: easy to do shopping
The bad side:
# the place is not clean enough.. Chaotic kitchen.. Same hand towel in the shower room and lavatory during all my stay (I never used but still is not a good thing).. Never hanged my bed sheet or provide me clean one to change them during the 10 night I spent there.
# unhappy that bassma didn't allow me to use shower every day.. She told me via whatsapp that I can have my shower only once each two days.. Which wasn't declared in airbnb description..
# No provided area to hang the wet clothes cause I wasn't comfortable to hang them in the shower room.. (it took me two days to have them dry till bassma decided to hang them in the balcony(cause that was my last day at her place)
#no closet provided for guests where to put there clothes so I was struggling all the time when I was trying to get them out from my suitcase.. Or at least provide a safe box to put valuable items.
#Basma wasn't friendly as expected.. Many times she was rude..so for my last days there I was avoiding contact with her.
#unprofessional behavior from Basma to spend the night out and leaving us alone with the guys.. Terrifying situation Specialy that Basma don't keep with her any copy of guests ID or passport.. I felt in danger.
#not firm with guys: alcoholic beverages was allowed, drinked inside the house, guys didn't respect the code dress and Basma was told so but she didn't react to it!!
# Since the guys room is next to the shower and lavatory.. Basma should consider asking the guests to close the door of their room cause they already have the balcony if they want fresh air.. Cause it didn't make me confortable using either the loo or shower room while they are lying on there bed with the door open..
Basma S place is recommended for less than two nights..
