    awful for the price, but nice area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    While I was living there, they installed a security system for the front door to buzz yourself in with a code/face ID or to buzz people in remotely from your phone. That was pretty nice, because previously all they had were keys. The area is great, if you’re not worried about living near the projects. Really liked living in a nice area of Manhattan AND close to John Jay for school. Live in super was very responsive.
    Cons:
    Rooms are CRAZY small. Laundry rooms were often not cleanly. When I first moved there, had a REALLY hard time with mice — once I got a cat the issue lessened. Roaches continued to be an issue, even though we kept the apartment clean. We were paying 2800$ in covid pricing for what was technically a 2 bedroom apartment, where the living room was axed to create a third bedroom. They then jacked up the rent to $3500, with little improvement to the space. Appliances were OLD and very small. I’m 5 foot 3 and I could see the top of the fridge without standing on my tippy toes. Ovens were crazy small — so forget about baking anything larger than a tin of brownies or some cookies. When we left, they tried to raise the rent to $3650. Can’t imagine what they’re charging for it now!
    Advice to owner:
    If you’re going to jack up the rent, maybe add some newer appliances to the space. Or upgrade the bathroom!
