    Nice neighborhood, pest issue
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    apartment itself and appliances were relatively nice
    Cons:
    Had a cockroach problem, reached out to super and landlord but no one seemed concerned
    Over 2 years ago
    Good location, that’s it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location with multiple restaurants, bakeries and cafes around. Close to both 6 and Q subways
    Cons:
    Slow and unresponsive management company. You need to scream over the phone to get things done or they just ignore your request.
    Roaches are all around and even coming from the outlets. Many packages are stolen and they don’t care.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop using the phone which no one is responding or calling back. ‘I said’ ‘you did not’ argument is also sucks and simply waste of renters time.

    Middle of the road choice
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, convenient location, usually pretty quiet
    Cons:
    Management often unresponsive (would accept the call but never answer the phone, told me they'd contact the super about issues and never followed through), very loud heating system
    Advice to owner:
    Update features! And be more responsive to tenant concerns.

    Fine for a cheap place
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - good location
    - good sound insulation
    - decent water pressure
    - cheap
    - free pest control
    Cons:
    - no AC in my unit, brutal during the summer
    - dirty common areas
    - packages get stolen
    - no elevator, climbing 6 flights every day is tough
    - no contact with the property owner, just the broker that sold me the apartment
    Advice to owner:
    Get to know your tenants

    Introduction to Manhattan
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location. I lived here before the Q opened and it was still amazing then. Close to the park, and the running path along FDR. Library nearby on York. Tons of restaurants, secret coffee and wine spots sprinkled throughout. Neighborhood feel while still being in the thick of Manhattan.
    Cons:
    Tiny. Was on the fifth floor of the walk-up, so my butt looked great, but it was a haul. My bedroom was the length of my queen bed, and was just three feet wider than the mattress. A loft helped, but had less than three feet from mattress to ceiling. (Things you only have the patience for in your 20s.) The bathroom, well, I could sit on the toilet, with my feet in the tub and wash my hands at the same time—without stretching. (Not that I did that, just for spacial reference.)
    Advice to owner:
    If building walls, make bedrooms even in size. Also, opt for the bigger sink.

    Great location but building just ok
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, restaurants, bars
    Cons:
    Trash bags always on sidewalks on that side street never ends
