Basma is an amazing host. When we reached her house at 8odd am, she was awake and even prepared for us some snacks and tea. Made us feel at home with her warm hugs :)
She told us a lot of the places to visit in Istanbul, and how to get there! Even provided us with the Istanbulkard to get cheaper rides of trams and metro.
We kept our luggages with her when we travelled to other parts of Turkey.
Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and you made our stay in Istanbul incredible!
