I would definitely go back to Uğur’s place in my next travel. after staying there for around 12 days, I can say that it’s one of the best apartments in Istanbul. The location is perfect, 10 minutes walk from Taksim square and the metro, 5 minutes walk from Tophane tram station, 15 minutes walk to Karakoy ferry station. The apartment is perfectly equipped, you can find there all you need. It has hot water at anytime, and a very good heating that keeps the apartment warm during cold winter. The apartment is located in a very safe and nice neighborhood, where lots of shops and restaurants are around. Plus the apartment is close to Uğur’s pizza place. Uğur is a perfect host, he’s always available for any question or request, he helped me booking an appointment for PCR test which was done at home, and helped with the transportations to the airport. I definitely recommend Uğur’s place 😃
