I stayed a week at Uygar's place in Istanbul and it was am amazing experience. Not only is his home very clean, warm and inviting but Uygar is beyond accommodating and kind. Everything was as described and there were absolutely no issues during the stay, it was very enjoyable. If you are looking for a peaceful and private place to stay in Istanbul that is central but doesn't feel too touristic, I recommend Uygar's place. I learned a lot about Turkey and Turkish culture from him, and having conversations about all of Uygar's travels and adventures was one of the highlights of my stay. Thank you Uygar for an amazing stay in Istanbul!
