    Loved living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I've lived in this building for over 5 years and the time has really flown. The location is unbeatable, within walking distance to Prospect Park and the amazing shops and restaurants on Vanderbilt and Franklin Ave. This is a corner building with so much character and generous windows, right above a beloved local restaurant. Our landlord is extremely responsive and mindful of our needs.
    Cons:
    Lots of new construction in the neighborhood.

    Cons:
    - Restaurant downstairs and CrossFit across the street are egregiously loud sometimes. There are some late-night vibrations in the walls that can be annoying
