    pretty nice but some issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    love the location. so quiet. my guests mentioned how much quieter it is than where I used to live in williamsburg. i love the inside. exposed brick in my apartment is gorgeous. very large counter space in kitchen for cooking. nice new stainless steel appliances. nothing fancy, but nothing to complain about. shower and bathroom are big. haven't had any major problems with neighbors. very close to subway, and it runs express, so it's veryyyy easy for me to get anywhere, esp. to work. amazing natural light in apartment with big windows. not too many stairs, so walkup is manageable. pest control comes ones a month, sweeping stairs once a week, which is a luxury compared to zero stairwell cleaning of past residences. first management company was semi responsive. love the no gas oven in apartment (gas ovens emit dangerous fumes). central a/c is ok. amazing neighborhood... like actually the best. feels safe, way more POC than elsewhere, walkable groceries, lovely brownstone. walk to to subway is like 7 mins... double than my previous, but that walking experience was so not pleasant that this one feels half the time. I'm a woman and have come back home extremely late and have never felt that unsafe (obv can be some stragglers but nothing has happened to me). lovely balcony that is huge! overlooks lovely green spaces
    Cons:
    entire management company/landlord went backrupt and had changeover halfway through stay. this new one... suss af. Tri Hill Management. I'm nervous... they have not responded to my maintenance rquest yet. TBD if it is ignored indefinitely... it's been weeks. central a/c def a little janky/unclean looking. the floors are thin AFFF and a neighbor complained to me a few times. you can literally hear every footstep... apts not well sound-insulated so it's very noisy whenever someone enters and leaves the building. i have to wear earplugs. my dryer stopped working a year ago and the maintenance guy took a look and made it work but then it broke again and I asked for another look but no one has come. wood floors impossible to clean. expensive.... studio is expensive and prob will have to move.. rip
