Utku is the best host you could find if you actually wanna get a local experience in Istanbul. He is warm, kind, funny and always up to have a good conversation about any topic - whether it be about music or politics. I had a fantastic time. Evidently I’m such a lucky guest as I got to experience the party atmosphere with Utku as he knew all the cool spots - and he knows how to throw one himself ;) Utku also took me to some cool eat-outs with the best Turkish food. He is also aware of the best shops and locations to visit.
All in all, for my first time in Istanbul Utku and also his friends became my close friends and family. They made me feel safe and welcomed in a city that is oh so vibrant and crazy. I will keep coming back 💗
