Necip is the kindest, smartest, most sincere man I know. I am so happy that my travel companion and I were able to stay with him and develop a friendship that I am sure will last. His flat is comfortable and homey with easy access to the tram which can take you all around the city. Take time to listen to Necip's advice and stories about istanbul. You can learn so much! Necip is amazingly hospitable and willing to share so much of his life. I am so happy that I was able to spend the small amount of time that I did with him.
