Uygar's place was perfect! It had everything we could have wanted. With special note given to how close it was to everything, it was very easy to get everywhere.
As for the Uygar himself, he was super friendly, spoke great English and was amazing at sending us the exact locations of the things we wanted to see!
I highly recommend if you are staying in Istanbul and want to stay with a cool, friendly and helpful local; stay with Uygar.
