Space but at what cost
Pros
I love the area that the building is in. Plenty of great food and nightlife around as well as very easy access to L and JM trains.
Cons
In the winter your electricity bill is crazy high because this building is so so poorly insulated. It is a very old building and never really feels truly clean. We lived on the first floor and had a good amount of mice problems that the management was not eager to help with. The backyard is nice, but as soon as it gets warm enough outside to use it, it becomes infested with mosquitoes that won't let you stay outside for more than about 5 minutes without being eaten alive.

Pros
-Location -Spacious Apartment -Very nice backyard -Great neighbors
Cons
-Management is unresponsive. Never was able to get in touch with anyone over the phone and it would take weeks to get someone to reply to an email -Heat did not work all winter -had multiple leaks to the point that it was raining from my ceiling
Advice to the owners
-Be more responsive to you tenants -Replace the heating system like the electrician suggested
