Our party of four had a great stay at Özlem’s apartment in the middle of May. The check in was quick and easy with a door lock code - so no hazzle with multiple sets of keys. The apartment is lovely, modern and fully equipped with everything you need for cold drinks, making food, sleeping and relaxing inside or outside in the lovely backyard. When we arrived there was put out fresh flowers and some pasta & tomato sauce for us, such a nice gesture. We felt very welcome! There is no TV in the apartment but the wifi is excellent and worked fine on all of our devices for streaming, email or surfing the internet. The subway is a 7-10 minutes walk away from the apartment, either the blue line (A, C from Ralph Av) or the brown line (J, Z from Halsey st). We used the train to Manhattan during the day, and then taxi/Uber for getting back to the apartment. Some good restaurants / cafe / take out nearby we tried and recommend are Bklyn pizza (Ralph Av), Chez Oskar (Malcolm X Blvd) and Zaca Cafe (Marcus Garvey Blvd). Also several local delis and grocerys shops for food in the neighbourhood.
Communication with Özlem and her husband was easy, and they were very friendly and serviceminded hosts. When we asked if it was possible to use the grill in the garden - they even got us some charcoal. Would gladly recommend a stay in their apartment!
