Could be better
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location close to climbing gyms, park slope food coop, prospect park and the r train. Hands off building with quiet neighbors. Never hear from management. Good light in front building
Cons:
Above a bar/cafe that has gotten louder over the years. Building never once cleaned in two years of living in it, super never seen except when called to repair something. Shocking rent increases! Garbage in cans taken out but large items accumulate in alleyway
