Reviews of 188 Avenue B

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Pretty Good Apartment

Pros

Nice rooftop, good location, exposed brick and interiors are nice.

Cons

Windows are pretty thin, noise from street can be loud. Hot water issues in the past. But new boiler now.

Cheap but messy

Pros

Cheap but not by a lot

Cons

So small I am certain they turned a big master room into two rooms and that was what all the "remodeling" was for
