I spent a fortnight in Istanbul, staying at the beginning in a room offered by Ugur, to which I returned after a brief break. Ugur continued to be a great host: no difference from the first part of my stay in his apartment. I was away for a very short time, but when I returned, the room was in a condition just as for a new guest: fresh towels, sheets, pillow cases, etc. Which, of course, didn’t surprise me at all in light of my previous experience with Ugur, who is kind and attentive to his guests and, when he is away, checks in with them to make sure they have everything they need.
