Manzara's place is fantastic - clean, safe, quiet, bright, and super central (literally steps to Galata Tower). There's many great restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets/grocery stores, and banks nearby.
The communication with Mazara was excellent - from the moment we booked his place, he provided step-by-step guidance on how to get to his place, navigate Istanbul, and answer any additional questions we had.
We'll definitely be back!
