Uygar and his housemate Neset are great people. The location of their place is perfect, quiet but just two minutes walk to the centre of Istikal - the main road of Istanbul.
We feel very lucky that on our first night Uygar shared some nice traditional food with us before Neşet brought us along to a party with his friends which was awesome. We also shared a few meals together just the four of us during our time there. The place is fairly easy to reach with public transport and after arriving Uygar gave us all of his recommendations for Istanbul plus a map to use. Also, the shop up his road is really nice with really good cheap food and really nice people.
Uygar and his friends are very open minded and friendly people and it quickly feels like staying with friends. We loved our stay in Istanbul with Uygar and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
