    Nice place nice location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the layout - dishwasher is good you’re right on bedford so only 15 minutes to Williamsburg and only 20 minutes to Fulton station
    Cons:
    Management isn’t as responsive as they could be but they’re not bad. Will raise price of apartment by a crazy amount even though I’ve lived here for two years.
    Advice to owner:
    Don’t raise rent

    Cheap student apartment with non responsive management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to the A/C trains,
    Fully renovated
    Cons:
    Management takes forever to fix any issues (if they ever do). They don't reply to emails or calls and haven't returned the security deposit after a month. Security cameras never work. The basement entrance is always dirty and gets infested with flies
    Advice to owner:
    Acknowledge the existence of tenants

    a nice place to live with some unfortunate issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Nice amenities, remodeled kitchens
    - Responsive landlords
    Cons:
    - Huge units with tons of tiny bedrooms, none with good window views
    - Ceiling leaked for months
    - People from the street entered the basement and left feces everywhere
