Basma is a very nice and kind person. a perfect host. When you enter her home, you'll always find a smile. It is lovely to spend some time talking with Basma because she gives you a lot of advices about your trip in Istanbul. The house is very closed to the subway (Aksaray stop - just around 40 minutes from Ataturk airport and 5 minutes walking from Basma's house) and to the tram (Haseki stop, just 2 minutes walking from Basma's home) that goes directly to Sultanahmet, Grand bazar, Eminonu and Beyoglu. I travelled with my 2 kids and they really loved her!
if you want to spend your holiday not in a touristic place, this accomodation is perfect.
