Basma was a woderful host. I can't expess about her just a few words. She was always helpful, thoghtful, and friendly while I stayed her home. Thanks Basma, I had wonderful time in Istanbul because of you.
Her home is very close with tram station and bus stop just 1 minute. Merto station is just 5 minutes. Sultan Ahumet area and Grand Bazar are 10~15minutes by tram.
If you want to stay at comfortable atmosphere place and communicate with international friends, I recommend highly Basma's home!
