Serpil's apartment is just perfect. The apartment is large, very clean and comfortable. The location cannot be better: in a ten minutes walk, you can find metro and ferry stations and a nice esplanade next to the sea. Moreover, despite the neighborhood is full of amazing and cheap restaurants, bars and cafes we did not have any problem with the noise. Finally, Serpil is an excellent host, she was very kind to us and always ready to help with great tips. I would not hesitate to stay at her place again if I go back to Istambul.
