Basma was extremely welcoming and after a day it felt like home. Basma's accomadation is humble and in an authentic part of Istanbul.
There are three flights of stairs to get to Basma's flat and so this could be a potential problem for some people.
There are plenty of shops and restaurants close by so you won't get bored.

We were able to meet some lovely people at Basma's home and so we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to see Basma again.
