    Nice location and affordable
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No pests and super cleans very often
    Cons:
    Water not always reliable
    Over 3 years ago
    Responsive landlord. Small, flexed apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Landlord was the most responsive and easiest to get in touch with I’ve ever experienced in NYC. They had an email or ticketing system and issues were tracked, responded to effectively, and done. Never had a similar experience since.

    Close to subways and easily accessible to other parts of the city

    Right off bustling street with all stores amenities and restaurants but block itself is quieter

    Sunlight comes into bedrooms on top floor
    Cons:
    2 bedroom was a flexed studio, it worked for our needs at the time, but was small and the doors and walls were very flimsy

    Could hear anything going on in apartment due to flimsy walls

    Walk-up building, beware of living on the top floors and forgetting something when you’re headed out the front door :)

    No view or direct sunlight in living room and kitchen area
