Uygar is a lovely host and his place made our trip to Istanbul way more homie and comfortable. I was traveling with my mom and I wanted her to experience local culture which no hotel would have possibly provided. The apartment is very cosy and feels like home. We had our privacy, but at the same time it felt like we were visiting a dear friend. Uygar was very attentive, considerate and knowledgable. Ive been to Istanbul many times, but he recommended places that I haven't been before and that my mom loved as well. Highly recommended!
