Necip and his flatmates/friends were extremely friendly, welcoming and easy to get along with. Although it was a very busy time for him, he and his pals still went out of their way to take us out to some fantastic restaurants and bars, showing us a side of Istanbul that we would not have been able to find on our own. A very knowledgeable and stimulating conversationalist, Necip made our stay in Istanbul extremely memorable. I cannot recommend him and his friends highly enough.
