Our stay at Serdar's was great, he's a super kind and friendly fellow, he helped us out with all kinds of issues (locked suit case, a hole in the window..), and it was great meeting him. The place itself is nice, and comfortable. We wanted to stay close to the boats, but weren't expecting it to be so busy in the streets, so we did have trouble sleeping a few nights. One night a neighbor started drilling at 11PM until maybe 1AM, on another night, there were dogs barking until really late, and an outside concert at 1AM on a Monday night.. quite random, and not Serdar's fault of course, just tricky if you're exhausted from a full day of sight seeing.. Overall a great location to get from to Kadikoy streets and take the boat to other shores, we had a good stay.
