It was a nice stay in Uygar’s place. It was pretty close to the Taksim square, from which one can take metro to go to sultanahmet area within minutes. Uygar’s place was quite neat and clean. Uygar was very kind as a host and I felt like staying at a friend’s house in Instanbul. Besides, the house itself had its charms with owner’s artistic tastes reflected on every corner of the house. I saw walls of CDs and many types of musical instruments. Looking at double bass in the living room which Uygar is currently practicing was a nice experience too. There were also many plants here and there, so the place was quite peaceful and relaxing. Also, inside the building where Uygar’s apartment is, there lives a cat that just got out of the baby stage and is very cute and loves people. It always greeted me and even saw me off when I left. Uygar also told me that this cat sometimes follows Uygar into the elevator and stays for a couple of hours in his apartment. Well, I will visit this place again next time I visit Istanbul.
