We found Basma to be a lovely welcoming hostess, and we enjoyed our stay with her (and also meeting her other guests). She was very helpful with advice and has a big range of tourist information available. Her home is certainly very convenient to the tram network, and also not too far to walk into the central area with the main tourist attractions. There were plenty of places to eat nearby.
The only difficulty that some visitors might need to be aware of is that luggage has to be taken up a few flights of stairs.
Tesekkur ederim (or as near as we can write thank you, because we don't have a Turkish keyboard!)
