Uygar is a truly wonderful host. From the moment I arrived he was welcoming, generous and interesting to talk to. I arrived quite late, and he stayed up to greet me with refreshments and relaxed conversation. He is an intelligent and creative person, with lots of insights about the city to share and plenty of suggestions for interesting places to explore or find good food. At the same time, I felt like I could get on and do my own thing when I needed to and I felt instantly at home. Uygar's apartment is spacious, beautiful, comfy and extremely well located, and the sound system and music collection is a real bonus too. it is super close to everything ( 5 minutes from Istakal avenue) but is also a real neighbourhood, with friendly local places to get a good coffee, a snack or some groceries. I left very glad I had chosen his home and feeling I had made a friend too. Thank you Uygar, until the next time! xx
