Staying with Basma was very nice the location of her apt is right on the tram line making it easy to get around. Basma speaks English she is very kind and even had dinner cooked the night we arrived. She lives in a very efficient flat which could feel small to Western standards its on the 4th floor with no lift. If your coming from the western part of the world have that in consideration, that your traveling and not staying at a hotel but having a real experience in someone's home. There are 2 air b&b rooms and 1 restroom and sometimes common area is also rented. Overall very good experience and Istanbul is a beautiful this is a great apt to stay at I would recommend it 100% I wouldn't have anything negative to say. Thank you Basma.
