    Super is kind, Owners are not
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is a great guy.
    The pool table upstairs is nice.
    Elevator is helpful
    Cons:
    The super has weekends off which is inconvenient for a move
    The common TV space is disgusting and has no lights.
    No secure place for packages to go.
    Some bedrooms do not meet the legal definition -- windows don't open and no heating.
    Lots of things were broken when we moved in
    People smoke in the stairways
    Elevator breaks randomly

    There was no new paint when we moved in, but we were charged for more paint when we moved out. I requested a receipt for the paint they bought, as is my right, and they failed to produce it.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop by your building sometime.

    588 Myrtle review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super close to Pratt's campus which was nice as a student. The roof was a nice amenity too.
    Cons:
    The rooms are incredibly small, as an architecture student I now know they were only a couple inches above the code minimum. Only really big enough for a twin bed if you want any space at all. Secondly, there are just too many rooms per unit. My unit was a duplex for no discernable reason with 5 other roommates, so 6 of us total, sharing 2 bathrooms and what can only generously be described as a kitchen. The front door to the building is consistently broken and packages are stolen all the time. Additionally, the laundry in the basement has no way to set temperatures on the wash or dry cycles, so I had to go to a laundromat to do laundry.

    Not that stellar
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, nice view from the roof.
    Cons:
    Building seems really shoddily kept together, which is ridiculous considering the price. No central heating means tenants pay for heating through electrical AC. Not a very charming place
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up your act

    fifty - fifty
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    great location, roof, view.
    generally clean building
    Cons:
    Exorbitant electric bills
    lack of management's response to stolen packages from supposedly "locked and secure" building
