As a solo traveler, I was quite anxious about how my trip to Istanbul would turn out. I spent two nights at Uygar's place, and I can't describe enough how comfortable, cozy, fascinating, and clean it was. Uygar was such a great host; he was waiting for me when I checked it in extra early in the morning, wrote me a list of places to go to in Istanbul, and even wanted to share his food with me! Uygar has a great taste in music, a beautiful mind to have intellectual conversations with...And lots of kindness to share :)
