We had a great time staying at Manzara. It is centrally located on the iconic and famous Istiklal St. that connects Taksim Square and Galata bridge. It’s quite a walk and we did it a few times and we really enjoyed it. Just be aware that if you are looking for peace, quiet, and tranquility, this apartment is not for you because of the hustle and bustle of Istiklal and the amount of people it attracts. However, if you are ready to hit the streets, enjoy the energy and people this is the place! Don’t look any further! Istanbul is a great place for visitors, friends, family, and we certainly had a great time! There was no TV in the apartment which was good and bad at the same time giving the World Cup happening but we made it work. We also couldn’t find the microwave but no big deal. Enjoy your stay at the apartment and we would be happy to come back! Thank you for long lasting memories and fun!
