Uygar's place is amazing. He's warm, welcoming and super friendly. We enjoyed long conversations on politics, religion, culture, and art, overall it's a stimulating place to stay. His flat is inspiring - you will find an amazing collection of music and a great space to come back after a long day and unwind. I spent 10 nights and he suggested many places to visit during the Istanbul Biennale. He also cooked a delicious vegan meal one night and we watched an italian film on his 3D projector. If you want a real expereince of istanbul then stay with Uygar...you won't be disappointed!
