I always wanted to sleep in those old, historical houses. Ozgun's apartment was perfect for me, it was a brownstone building which is pretty historic with unique details and 12' high ceiling. It has railroad plan, beginning with a sleeping area, continued with a sitting area with the TV and a desk and a nice dining area in the kitchen. Even though the apartment is on a main street, when we closed the antique shutters, it was very quiet and calm inside. I understand that the building is close to the path station if we needed public transportation but we had a car so we didn’t need to use it. We parked in the street even though the car was full of luggages, we had no issues. There are also two parking lots four blocks away from the apartment. We’d park there if we could not park in the street. The neighborhood is a cosmopolitan urban one and we felt safe. We didn’t cook but could if we wanted to as there’s a fully equipped kitchen there with all necessary cookware. Ozgun even left some basic stable food items to have breakfast or light dinner if we wanted to. We felt like home, we had all needs WIFI and the cable and more important privacy. We could reach Ozgun whenever we needed to. She was always helpful and quick to respond to us. We will definitely return when we need to stay close to Manhattan. It’s a comfortable place with a unique historic ambience.
The bathroom is tiled and modern with lots of light. There is a corner shower unit. The plumbing could be noisy sometimes and the drainage of the shower was a bit slow. But we thought that these were negligible and comes with the age of the building which is, I think over 100 years.
Overall we were happy with the apartment and the owner. Thank You Ozgun.
