We found Basma to be a flexible, generous, and friendly host. We arrived earlier than we should, hoping to just store our baggage, but Basma greeted us with tea and cake, and immediately prepared the beds for us, allowing us to check in very early. She gave us a lot of advice about the area, and even let us use a transportation card, which gave us a discount on city transportation. Basma also served us dinner on our last night there. Her location, though a teensy bit far from Sultanahmet, was still in a convenient location close to cafes, restaurants, banks, and transportation. Her apartment was a little bit smaller than I anticipated, but it was very comfortable. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back.
