Ugur is a flexible, kind, helpful host. The flat is perfect with good location (Tarlabasi is not the fanciest district of Istanbul but the locals in the neighborhood are friendly). In the summer Istanbul can be extremly hot with high level of humidity - the AC is a real life saver in Ugur's flat. On the other hand in the balcony there are 2 flats' AC units which means if you would like to use the balcony to have a rest after your daily tour you have to get used to the AC units heat with combining the still extremely hot weather.
