    Kind of falling apart
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great for the weekends
    Not super loud at any time of the day
    Cons:
    So many issues: the ceiling in my bedroom crumbles onto my stuff all the time. They’ve fixed it twice and it just keeps happening
    Our radiators in the winter make the loudest sound and it kept my roommate awake
    Far from all subway lines. The best option is the bus
    Recently our hot water has not been working. They say they fixed it but i have not noticed a difference
