Loved living here overall!
Pros
Priced way under market for the space and neighborhood! The location truly cannot be beat in terms of neighborhood and proximity to Prospect Park and grocery stores. The exposed brick is nice, rooms all get nice light, and the landlord is extremely laid back, if not the most proactive about fixing things. He allowed us to hang things with nails and even install shelves. The kitchen has lots of space and storage. Nice hardwood floors. And roof access (the roof is unfinished but huge and a really nice place to take a picnic blanket up).
Cons
The main issue is that the radio from the pizzeria is Very Audible through the living room floor and the floor of one of the 7th Ave side bedrooms. Once, there was a mouse issue, somewhat unavoidable living above a pizzeria. The pipes from the shower are also pretty old and have needed snaking a few times to prevent drain stoppage.
Advice to the owners
Coordinate with Pizza Plus to have the radio moved
