    building and location are great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very clean and the staff is the absolute best. Every single person that works here is super friendly. The location couldn't be better, by almost every subway line possible within a 10-minute walk. It's an 8-minute walk from Dekalb, many stores, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby.
    Cons:
    There's a construction right across the street and the noise cancellation is not the best.

    A lovely building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super friendly neighbors
    Amazing building staff
    Location near lots of public transportation
    Beautiful apartments
    Rarely hear noise from neighbors
    Community feel
    Cons:
    Elevators are atrocious. There is no freight elevator so anytime someone moves or they’re picking up recycling from each floor it can be tough to get downstairs. And sometimes they break which is even more brutal.
    Small amount of laundry units per residents. Don’t think many folks have in unit laundry if any so it can be competitive.
    It’s Downtown Brooklyn, so there can be some sketchy people nearby at times.
