Necla was an amazing host! We booked the place the day of our arrival and we didn't get there till about 1am. She stayed up for us, and gave us an amazing room. The room was fully loaded, with a fridge and slippers, towels like a hotel. Its literally 10 min walk from istiklal st. it was the best time ever. The area is a bit old but her place appears to be fully renovated and safe. She also has a house keeper. She was friendly enough to tell us how to get to and from but we made our way. It was truly a great experience. We had a water outage one day but she explained that when the water isnt used the color gets light yellow but becomes normal. Ask her anything! Our departure day, her husband dropped us off, due to no cab being available in the rain. They're amazing people!
