Necla is a dear person and excellent host. I enjoyed meeting her family, joking with her young son, watching the play with their kitten. The students staying there were a plus, warm. engaging, lightedhearted. Necla manages her guest house with love. Her home is clean, comfortable, well accommodating. She made my first visit to Istanbul easy and fun. One caution. You walk 2 blocks downhill on arrival and the same uphill on exiting the house. As a healthy senior I did it for a week and I'd do it again. For the young at heart. I highly recommend Necla's Airbnb for a most satisfying stay.
