The apartment is generally crowded (he hosts many couchsurfers etc.), but the room affords as much privacy as you want (when people are in the other room, you don't really hear them). Necip is very open and friendly, and showed me around quite nicely - I now count him as a friend. When he couldn't accomodate my initial request, he gave me a discounted rate for the few days he could host me. He took me to the hamam on the first day there - which was just what I needed after a long plane flight. Altogether, a fantastic experience.
