    Recent reviews for 196 Willoughby St praise its cleanliness, attentive staff including excellent doormen, and well-maintained spacious apartments with great views and convenient location near transit and Fort Greene Park. The building offers appealing amenities like a gym and rooftop deck, though some renters find access limited or fees for amenities and pets excessive.

    Nice place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really nice common area, great staff, and the apartment is well built
    Cons:
    If you get a neighbor who likes to play loud music, it's annoying since the bedroom shares a wall with your neighbor's lounge area.
    Property mgmt has unreasonable policies, such as charging a couple thousand dollars to move to another unit, even after your lease is finished.
    Advice to owner:
    Try to keep your current tenants by being a bit more reasonable rather than enforcing unreasonable policies, which drives tenants out and loses money from vacant units (our old unit was vacant for 6months after we left)
