Necip is a fantastic host. I had the lousy luck to arrive past midnight and even though it was well past his own usual bedtime, he still greeted me warmly and went through all the details thoroughly. He took the time to read up on my own profile as well and took me to different neighbourhood restaurants to try Turkish cuisine and, although I ultimately spent my entire stay in Istanbul, was extremely helpful when I was still planning to travel outside the city, recommending places and bus companies and such. Also, when I fell under the weather he took good care of me. I greatly appreciate all you did for me Necip, thanks so much!
